Preschool

This year after much prayer and research we decided to homeschool Em for preschool. Our first day was this last Monday and so far so good! Em and I are both loving it. We are doing school in the afternoon while Clara naps and it gives me the ability to give Em all my attention. She is already learning so much. She asks all morning when we can do school and is quick to clean up her toys so that we can start right after lunch. We are focusing on letters and their sounds along with numbers and a memory verse a week. Only 3 days into school and Em already has most of the pledge of allegiance memorized. She wanted so badly to learn it so that she could send a video to daddy and he could see what she is learning. I set up a little classroom for her and she is always playing school with her dolls when we are not having class. We have gotten together with a few other homeschooling families on base and are having fun getting to know them. So glad that I can talk with other moms and get advice on what works for them. I love the fact that I can be the one to teach her at home. I am thankful for a husband that supports this wholeheartedly and prays for us daily while he can't be with us! We love you Zachary and can't wait until you can be here to see your daughters learn!

It is great that you have the opportunity to homeschool. I am sure it will be a strong bonding time and you will know she is learning all the appropriate subjects, PLUS you can include Bible verses for memorization if you choose. Good luck.

The third picture is now my new desktop background on my work PC. It brightens my day to see Em's face everytime I lock my computer.

<3 y'all!
