Apparently getting into a preschool is harder than getting into college. A friend with older children warned me, "Oh, just you wait!"
I had heard stories of parents putting their child on the wait list at a certain preschool the minute the child was conceived (or born, perhaps, but let's be a little dramatic.) You're simply trying to find a place for your kid to go play with waterpaints and playdough, get roughed up on the playground by the "big kid," and sing a few cutesie songs that you don't know the lyrics to.
Though I'm not sure places here start lists at birth, apparently they start them more than 9 months in advance. We got a letter this week from one place for next September -- he's so far down on the waitlist that every boy in the class would have to drop out (what kind of odds are that?) And we got a call from another place, which offered a spot for only one day a week. And so I'm thinking maybe just once a week isn't that bad afterall.
