Chugging Along

Our quiet home days are highlighted by Tess' preschool hours every-other day.  She is doing GREAT with school and is loving it.  She actually looks forward to it now!  I may wish it were a little longer, but it is just perfect for her.  She no longer needs her "mommy picture" at school or at church.  She is coming into her own and it's so nice to see her happy.




We've started having "homework time" in the morning, where I work with Tess on a few skills and Drew gets to color (he usually ends up decorating his highchair tray).  She loves doing "homework" and has taken to writing "Good Job!" on all her papers. 



Unexpected side benefit:  I can actually get her to play independently afterwards for a little while by telling her it's "center time."  Today she played in the "trains and cars" center.  Drew joined her as the caboose after he spent a little time at the "changing dirty diapers" center.

We miss our little caboose! I love the parking job of the cars on the banister, Tess! Lots of creative playing going on there!

Drew always looks like he's having fun!

I want to play centers, too! You're having altogether too much fun without me!
