She has been waking up as early as six!
Too early, not good. It is right at my get ready for the day time. I love her to pieces but some time alone in the morning is a great way to start the day.

Yesterday we went and met our daughter's pre-school teacher. What a disaster. The teacher spent most of her time talking to us and some time giving our daughter a lesson and then observing how she performed. It all started off great until the kid touched something and was told by the teacher that she was not allowed to touch it. Big problem. She was not happy being talked to by some stranger so she broke down. Then the teacher picked her up and brought her to a chair to sit with her and try to reason with her, I guess. But by this time it was too late the kid was into a full blown meltdown. Eventually with her Mom's help she recovered and performed another lesson. However, I don't think we have recovered yet. The problem we now are having to decide is whether this teachers methods match well enough with our daughter and will she be happy in her class. How do you make that call from just one meeting? We have decided to have another go at it and make the call from there. If it still doesn't feel right we will request another teacher.

She's up.
