Isn’t she lovely? She’s FIVE years old. How that happened, I’ll never know. I have a lot to catch up on re: Cara, but we can start with her Kindergarten homeschooling this year. Honestly, it’s going about as we expected it to. I knew, with the baby coming near the holidays (he was due 1/1/11!), [...]

My BFF, Boss Lisa, and I took the girls to the El Dorado Nature Center this week. Who knew there was such a neat little slice of wilderness within walking distance of our house? My little city slickers weren’t entirely sure what to make of it. AJ isn’t much of a walker, so she stayed [...]
First Day of Preschool

Cara had her first day of preschool today, and I’m happy to report that she nor I shed any tears. She was so excited to go and play with the other kids. She was shy for a few minutes at the beginning and asked me to stay, but once she saw the Playdoh table, I [...]

It has been a slow week for us, and Cara has become obsessed with Muzzy, the BBC language program for children. In our case, the girls are watching Muzzy in German. Cara now asks for “Der Grosse Muzzy” several times a day. Only she won’t say it in her normal voice–she tries to say it [...]

I love toys. I’m on a mission to collect the most lovely, durable toys I can find for my ladies. It is part selfish (because honestly, it’s REALLY fun to play with these toys) and part practical (if they’re going to go through multiple children, they have to be built to last!). Last year, in [...]
The Best Laid Plans…

Well, homeschooling is supposed to be about following the child, after all…. This morning, when I asked Cara about the letter A, she looked at me and declared emphatically, “I want to do letter B!” So much for our 26-week curriculum!
First Day of School

My baby started school today! No fancy new outfits or lunchboxes, though. We did “school” today on her bedroom floor with coloring pages, books, and free reign over her very own glue stick, surely the highlight of her day. For those who don’t know, we’re planning to homeschool our little lovelies for at least the [...]
