It's official. Starting Monday morning S begins preschool with Mommy. It is just a little something to give us something constructive to do. S will probably enjoy it, especially the crafts, but I'm the one who really stands to benefit. It is giving me something to think about besides the fact that my house needs a lot of work and I don't have the money to do it. I spend countless hours feeding, bathing, napping, and playing with kids in which my mind is free to wander and I have relished the fact that I have lessons to plan. I have grand plans for arts and crafts, letter and number recognitions, songs, stories, classical music, sign language... We'll see how long it lasts. I often have great ambitions that I fail to see through to the end. But since this is for S, I might actually keep it up, especially if I see her thriving, which I have no doubt that she will. She did inherit her father's intelligence afterall. We'll just have to see if that same father can stand the constant "A says ahhh" and "Old MacDonald had a cow" next week (the first week's theme is cows! moo!). I'm excited though. And I'm hoping it will help me to learn new things too. For instance, I have reserved several books on Mozart and classical music to read since I am playing Mozart for the kids next week. I have to keep learning, or soon my kids will be smarter than me!
S is displaying her doggy puppet that she made with Daddy and Mommy last week. We're going to make a cow puppet in preschool this week. S loves to glue, color, and decorate pictures with stickers.

I am very impressed with your preschool idea. Good luck. I'm not sure if we're ready for preschool. I'm still trying to get Luke to talk. We've started bribing him with candy but it's not working. So he still gets no candy. Maybe next week!

Are you doing it with anyone else, or just you and sadie? Way to go you! By the way, the clock is so pretty! I'm jealous!
