preschool

okay, so first up in our "since u been gone" edition of the blog, our eldest child, summer (remember this baby here?), started preschool this september. back in june, i joined a group of awesome moms and their equally awesome offspring in forming a preschool cooperative group. we use mother goose time curriculum, school is in session for two and a half hours twice a week, and moms rotate homes and teaching.

i have not yet had the chance to teach or participate much (looking forward to it in a few weeks!), but summer is loving going to school -- especially telling her little sister that "i am going to school."

to be fair, summer would probably rather be at her friends' houses playing instead of learning (she's a girl after her mother's heart when it comes to academics and likely won't see much use in the "system" for many years to come), but she still comes home full of all sorts of new ideas and knowledge, not to mention beautiful artwork. go preschool!
