I was never in pre-k and my daughter is suppose to start pre-k in August. I don't feel that pre-k is that important. She knows how to count to 20 in two languages, she knows her colors,shapes, alphabet and we have been teaching her sign language since she was 6 months old. I understand its to get children ready for kindergarden but my girl listens and takes instructions well and knows how to respect adults. So is pre-k really that important?

My daughter who is four goes by Sissa at home and well everwhere else so much that everyone only knows her by this name and when I call her Kaitlynn(her actual name) people ask who I'm talking about or assume that I have another kid (that's work people or new friends). Anyway Sis is suppose to start pre-k in August and I was wondering if she will be allowed to go by Sissa or if we should just let them use Kaitlynn (which I hate but she's named after my mom and my husbands mom) but she doesn't answer to Kaitlynn or Kaitie she says she is Sissa!

I have a 3 year old and we are considering giving her a sibling I say the age gap is already too big what do you think? Granted I am 1 of 7 and my oldest brother is 17 years older then me and I'm not as close to my older siblings as I am to the ones closer in age

As I stated my 3 year old daughter doesn't know or answer to her name which is Kaitlynn, I have called her Sissa forever and if asked she will say her name is Sissa. I don't like her real name my husband picked it out and its the only name we could half agree on. Anyway does anyone else have this problem with nicknames?

Our last name is VERY german and starts with an H we cant deside!
