Sometimes I feel like I live in a preschool world every day. We have a fairly good collection of activities for little busy bodies to work on. Tessa calls our crafty bucket the "making things." One week we'll have a spurt of playdough. The next week all the food toys will find a home under the bay window behind the couch. Baby dolls, puzzles and library trips also make frequent appearances. Ordinary household items are often collected in boxes and backpacks or spread out for the latest imaginary game. Our preschool also involves the daily tasks and errands when little helpers are needed.
Tessa started going to an "official" preschool in November for a few hours each week. She has also been participating in the Upstart pre-K program on-line at home. She is a bright, busy, independent and very social gal.
Leisel is our other star student. She can be heard counting to 20 along with her big sister. By this time, naps have nearly disappeared from our schedule. So Leisel is trying to keep up with the whole day of helping and play. Snack time is as always her favorite.
