School (work) is Cool!

I have had Presley doing school work since she was 2 1/2 years old. Prepping her for school I suppose.

When people would ask her, "Are you in school? "

She'd answer back, " yes I do all of my work at home."

I was always so proud of that.

But lately...blame it on the move and that darn pod, I have seriously slacked up on the school work and she'll be starting "real" school this year and poor Piper hasn't even had an ounce of what I have done for Presley. I have some major catching up to do!

So today, I found an old math workbook of Presley's that we bought her when we were living in the hotel. And for Piper, I drew a bunch of shapes for her to practice saying what they are. I sat the girls down at the table for a couple of hours today and that's what they did. Presley did addition and Piper did shapes! It feels really good to slowly but surely be getting back on track!

I also went back to do again what I use to do with the girls. READ a bedtime story to them! It's been a while since I've read them a bedtime story. So I started up our ritual again tonight. I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or them, with all the silly voices and stuff! You have to have a voice for each character and there are alot of characters in Winnie The Pooh.

I am achieving my new year's resolution of being a better mom to my kids. So happy!
