As discussed in a previous post we've started preschool, and it's going great! Babycake just loves it. Each morning during breakfast we go over the date and weather. Then some time during the day we'll read and do a craft or a few pages in one of our workbooks. Babycake loves her workbooks. We have one for tracing letters, and one for counting, matching, and tracing our numbers. Here's Babycake showing off her work after completing 10 straight pages. (I asked repeatedly if she was ready to stop and she just wanted to keep going)
This summer we also participated in the the library's summer reading program. We got some great rewards like passes to the Children's Museum Haunted House, free passes to an Indian's baseball game, and more. The program recently ended, and they just started a new program in it's place "1000 Books By Kindergarten." We are so excited to be in the trial group. We signed up the first day it was available, 12 days ago, and have already read 32 books. Its really great to see how much we read, and we're not even trying to read more than usual. What's really great about this program, vs the summer reading program, is that you're not required to only read library books, and you can read the same books over and over and still count them. (this is great since every parent knows that you go through special books in phases and you have to read that book every night until the next special book is discovered)

Anyway, that's what's been going on here. Lots of reading, tracing, counting, matching, and learning learning learning. I'm so glad Babycake loves education and finds it fun. I hope that we can continue to keep learning fun and she'll love school and homework when she's older.
