Johnathan's preschool

So I am the strange one here in Katy Texas.  Everyone sends their kids off to preschool at the age of three.  I am a paranoid crazy mom who wants to wait to the last possible moment to send their kid out into the world.  Everyone is different, I am not judging others, but would people stop judging me?  I have had so many awful comments about how my kids are gong to be stupid and have all kinds of issues because of my decision.  I have actually had a doctor say I should put them in at least one day a week.  Seriously, I think people have to much time on their hands!  I love my decision, I love seeing my kids' excitement when they learn something new, and when they figure things out on their own.  And part of it is selfish, I like the satisfaction of knowing I am teaching them.  I taught them their ABC's, fun songs, nursery rhymes, numbers, shapes, how to cut, paste, and think outside the box.  I also love knowing I can answer spiritual questions they might have during the day, we have some of our best conversations about Jesus when I am telling my kids not to beat each other up or while we are baking cookies!  Is it a crime to want to be an active participant in my kids' life? I love teaching Johnathan, he is such a fun, smart kid!  Here is a picture of Johnathan with his lunch box for "preschool"!
