Today we celebrated Andrew's 5th birthday. It was so much fun. I let Andrew decide what to serve and we compromised and settled on a menu of Ledo's pizza, corn on the cob and single serving bags of pre-sliced apples. From a parent's perspective it was blissfully easy. All I had to do was boil the corn, pack up the car and head over to the Takoma Park Community Center, where we had booked a room for the festivities.
As Andrew's friends arrived, all us CentroNia parents began chatting about the lottery-- apparently none of our children got in to any of the county's Spanish immersion programs. One parent had placed a hopeful #3 on the waitlist for Burnt Mills, but that was the closest any of us got. We were all mildly depressed about it but we're also brianstorming about what a 'plan B' might look like.
One of my friends mentioned Sacred Heart catholic school on Park Rd. I didn't know the place existed, but I googled it and emailed the admissions director to schedule a tour.
I'm down but not out. I'll keep you posted.
