Who was so excited Sunday night she couldn't sleep? This girl was! Piper could not get her excitement out of her about the fact that she was officially a Campbell School Preschooler as of Monday. To me, all this means is a bit more time working with her number and letter recognition, but to her it means that she is now recognized as a big girl in the whole family dynamic! After all, she did grow a whopping two inches the past two months!
Doing school with Piper is basically taking all the opportunities I can to play and do fun things with her. She usually allows for about 20 minutes of one on one play with puzzles and then is off to do her own thing. We made sure and got a lot more learning puzzles and games for her this year that were just for her. Last year she so badly wanted to do "school" but I wasn't sure how to get her involved while I was trying to help Charly with her school. So glad we are prepared this year. I know it hasn't yet been a week but already I can tell she is having fun with her just-for-me activities.
Schooling at home is definitely a learning opportunity for all of us, one year something works and the next, not so much.
Piper has such a fun spirit, and while at times it is challenging, it is also so fun to have such a vibrant personality adding so much life within our home's walls.
