A few weeks ago, we were gifted the opportunity for Elliott to start pre-K. Everyone in the house was ecstatic at the opportunity. Especially Elliott. Thank you Grand-Pineapples! (The kids call my parents grandma and grandpa Pineapple) Last week we shopped around and thanks to a great referral from a friend, we found a place for Elliott in a local program.
