When I picked E up from "school" yesterday, the principal mentioned that she had planned on moving E up to the preschool class in a few weeks. This is pretty much good news...her current class is 2's/Young 3's and the preschool is 3's, so she be in a more age appropriate group. Also, some of her friends have already moved up to the preschool class. Finally, the preschool curriculum is pretty cool -- the kids move between three learning labs (Math and Science, Language Arts, and Family Life) throughout the day, so it's kind of like high school for the preschool set.
There are, however, a few drawbacks. First, the preschoolers have to wear a uniform of a Land's End polo (with the school logo) and either khacki or denim bottoms. I forsee many battles taking place getting dressed in the morning. But the biggie is E has to be potty trained.
Our current potty training method is failing. This method involves really not pushing potty training in the hopes that one day she'll magically start using the potty. Apparently, we're going to have to get serious. Per the school's suggestion, I am reluctantly buying pull-ups for her to wear. She's also going be sat on the potty at regular intervals during the school day and at home. If this doesn't work, we're going diaper cold turkey.
Wish us all luck...I think we'll need it.

K-this is exactly what I did for Harrison. I told him one morning "no more diapers, time for big boy underwear" and took him to the potty every 30 minutes for 2 days, by the end of the 2nd day-he got it. He's not trained at bedtime yet (but is during the day)-2 days is all it took. If he can do it (he's pretty stubborn), I know E will be just fine!
