I got Noah into his programmes this term, yay. I was on the computer at 6:57 (registration starts at 7 am) but all the sessions were full, so I sat hitting redial on the phone (busy) and refresh in my browser ’til I got in. Honestly? I’m competitive enough that I kind of get peppy about it. There is no way to measure good enough parenting until Noah’s like, 35, but in the meantime at least I can say I was alpha mom enough to get my ass online on registration day. :)
It’s nice to live in a city with inexpensive or free programmes, and nice that people take advantage of them… but crazy that to get into swimming you have to be right there at the moment of early registration. Summer’s worse though (and has been forever; my mother remembers lining up at the centre at 6 am).
Anyways, so Noah’s registered for: tiny tumblers on Sat mornings; a drop-in play programme for one of V.’s mornings; swimming Wed morn and Fri aft to give us some choice (the mom-tot times get progressively suckier in spring and summer, as lessons take over the pool time). No music this time; I wasn’t that thrilled with the programme, so we’ll have to see what the Early Years centres have.
Whee.
P.S. For the curious, fees for all classes combined totalled under $100, and that includes the summer term for the drop-in.Â
I’ve done that! The 7 am refresh-redial routine, such pressure. And yes, a bit of an adrenaline rush. For your future info, the Jan/Feb ski classes? September registration. Oops.
