Kindergarten Shopping.

Our sole aim of today is to find a kindergarten for Brandon to go to next year. My mission started early by ringing 7 kindergartens within a 20 minute radius from our house. There are absolutely no kindergartens apparently within our immediate and surrounding area. Maybe no-one is meant to have children in suburbia. Just as well I rang yesterday because admin are working out all the placements for next year. From the first kindergarten I rang which was the closest to our abode, I was told there was 150 other people on the waiting list ahead of me. So that's a no to having a spot for Brandon.

I managed to put Brandon's name down on 2 lists with 1 kindergarten sounding a little more promising regarding availability. Then I thought the 2 boys and I are going to jump in the car and go Kindergarten shopping. I rounded up the troops with ample supplies of food, water and conversation and off we went.

Our first stop was a kindergarten in an older suburb but it looked pretty big compared to the one we visited  earlier in the week. Winding our way through all the security gates we arrived. The kindergarten doors opened for us and in we went. The admin lady approached us and with hope and confidence in my voice I asked if they had any spots left for next year. YES!!! Hooray! They do. We looked around and played for over an hour there before I asked Brandon what he thought of the place and would he like to come here next year. Not understanding the concept of next year and time he told me he wanted to stay now. So we enrolled Brandon for next year, paid our $10.00, got our receipt and an introduction letter. Once I had that introduction letter in my hand I was relieved.

Well we had accomplished our mission and because I had anticipated a bit more kindergarten shopping needing to be done, I hadn't planned anything else for the day. Being a beautiful day we went home to play. We just played and played all day. We also did a whole heap of washing. An uneventful day but a successful day. Off to work I went while daddy and the 2 boys hung out. As neither boy had slept today you would think that they would be so tired that the would just fall into bed. But, alas they didn't.

And if you're wondering about my fairy tale story from yesterday, well none of it came try.  I suppose there is a reason why it's called a fairy tale.
