I actually started pre-school a year early. Growing up, I figured it was because I was super bright and could benefit from the early exposure. I was later told that the\u00a0<em>main<\/em> reason I went early is because I was getting pretty settled into the &#8220;MINE!&#8221; stage and since I didn&#8217;t have any siblings or cousins within a couple of years of my age, it was an opportunity for me to be around other kids my age so that I could get it out of my system. I think it&#8217;s hilarious looking back and my parents definitely made the right move there! Thanks Mom and Dad!<\/p>\n<p>Back to the photo, gotta love the 70s\/80s style of having two-toned carpet and matching knitted blankets. It just makes the photo better in my opinion.
