RR is talking about going to school and getting on a school bus. I'm not prepared for that. And I had to break it to her that I had no intention of sending her to school on a school bus ever. She started crying and telling me how she wants to go to school on the school bus.
But most of RR's friends go to preschool. Some are even in kindergarten this year. And she is so smart. I guess what she wants to do is sit down and do some "formal" schooling everyday or at least most days. Which leaves me wondering how to get started. I wasn't planning to start school tell she was four or five. I had thought about doing preschool when she was 4 to give homeschooling a trial run but I really just want her to enjoy being three right now.
RR can count to about 15 consistently and 20 sometimes. I think she can pick out some words here and there, though phonetics and actually recognizing letters is lacking a little bit.
WL can count to 3 and tries to sing the alphabet with the TV and such. She's a pretty smart cookie for being 21 months.
Since we have spent no time actually trying to teach them anything I think we are doing pretty good. And I have no problem with either of them not learning to read yet, I'll worry about that when we hit 5.
