And I never once missed picking up the Cub!

Some of you may recall that two years ago, I started a thread for [advice about whether the Cub, at that time 3 years old, needed to go to pre-K](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=600484). Mrs Piper and I decided to send him to a local pre-K; two mornings a week the first year, and three afternoons a week the second year.

And now, it’s hard to believe, he’s finishing up - last day is tomorrow, with a mini-graduation at the gym! He’s had a good time, we’ve all learnt a lot, and he’s off to kindergarten in the fall.

::sniff::

And my own point of personal pride: I never once missed a pick-up! (trust me, we’ve heard stories of parents who have forgotten or missed due to work; the pre-K co-op even has had to institute a late pick-up penalty fee for parents who forget.)
