Kavanna is enrolled in pre-school!



We don't know how old Kavanna is... though we think she's probably been born... and we don't know when she'll join the family (September? October?) but she's enrolled in a Montessori infant/baby program. Apparently there's a lottery to assure admittance but the directors of the school were really touched by our story and have promised Kavanna a slot whenever she arrives. So, Kavanna is registered for preschool!

We are lucky enough to have flexibility in our schedules. As a psychotherapist in private practice I'm able to set my own schedule and David works from home one day a week. Still, we think Kavanna will benefit from going to a part-time program at Montessori, especially if she is coming from an orphanage and accustomed to having lots of other kids around.

It feels really weird to have registered in the program... but also really good, in that it makes Kavanna more of a reality than the fantasy she's been for over 2.5 years.

I've been wondering when you'd pop up again. Missed you posting...

That is fantastic news about Kavanna's enrollment to the Montessori infant/baby program. Too darn cool and one heck of a great thing mom and dad are doing for their little one...

Awesome! We had Snowflake enrolled in pre-school for a year before we met her and, as it turns out, before she was born. She loves it and oddly, the infant room reminds me of the play room at her orphanage. She's very happy there.
