Kidville University, Montesori Schools, Two year Old's, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, NY

    I was on the phone for 3 hours today with an Apple technician about my IPhone. The house phone was not charged and I had to Skype them to talk.  I can't do it.  I called and called and called and finally I got a technician.  My screen keeps on going to black on my iPhone. I have to admit, I don't know how to work any of this stuff-not my iPhone, not my Mac computer, not Twitter, Facebook, nothing. Nada. I quit.  I am a technology failure.
    The girls, Tess and Gigi are two years, 4 months.  They are wild. I had not lived with two year old's for 46 years when my eldest was two. I used to think that visiting my other grandchildren was exhausting.  I am blown away by the energy of these girls. And they are so different.  Gigi bounds out of bed at 6am talking, carrying Mr. Mouse.  He's actually not a mouse, but a rabbit we got at Ikea and somehow he became Mr. Mouse.  Gigi takes him everywhere with her and  about a month ago she began to put him in her mouth while we went down the 3 flights of stairs.  Well now there is a big round circle on the top of his head where she has been sucking him.  It's gross and we are trying to figure out what to do about this.  We have a bag to put Mr. Mouse in when she goes to her "class" or out of the house.  But  she won't always leave him there. If she gets a little bit nervous he goes into her mouth. Gigi's eyes light up and she has this huge smile.
     Tess is a sleeper. She likes to lay in bed next to her mother and snuggle, or kick!  She takes her time, has a darling sensitive smile, keeps track of everything, likes to dress up and have her hair done, checks out her environment before she gets involved.   She likes to be very safe and secure.
     Jordan has been in the girl's room to get them to sleep since Thanksgiving.  We had to leave the apartment for a week and we were in various hotels and a loft and we did not have a space separate from the girls.
      Two years, 4 months and Jordan is totally nervous about what she is going to do with the girls next year. It turns out that pre-schools for two and one half year old's are $18,000 to $30,000 per child per year! That's $60,000 dollars after taxes for two girls, provided they have room! They are not even 3!
      Pratt is $50,000 a year. Who has this kind of money?
