Leo got into the pre-K program at the (really good) public school nearest our house. This is a good thing.

way to go mr. leo. i still think it's crazy that preschoolers have to "get into" school like it's college or something. i remember the kid i nannied for had to go on this big interview and she could hardly talk.. her parents filled out this long application, sent her picture in, and even wrote an essay!

Yes, applying to school at this age is absurd, but they don't have enough room for all the kids, so they have to pick them somehow. At least this application was strictly by lottery.

From the little I know of these things, that is huge. Congrats!

I'm led to believe that with these things, Leo's getting in is also partly due to his parents passing inspection so congratulations to the whole lot of you.

Thanks for your kind congratulations, but entrance to this program was purely by lottery, so we can't take any credit.

heh...I tried to toss a compliment to the parents but I'll go back to cooing over the little one now. (similarly, I ooh and ahh over dogs for a minute before remembering to look up and at least say hello to the dog owners)

I am reminded of the afternoon when, after brunch, I was walking through Greenwich Village with my wife and in-laws. A tattooed woman, about our age, with long black hair was walking her two dogs. My wife saw the dogs and immediately began to make a huge fuss over them, stopping only at the end to perfunctorily acknowledge their person's presence.

The rest of us sort of noticed right away that the person was Janeane Garafalo.

Yup. I'd have been right there with your wife. Worse, I'd probably henceforth refer to her as Sparky's owner.
