Lookin' at Daddy

Not much going on around here these days. Victoria is still loving school. She'd go every day if I'd let her (and if they'd let her!) Any hesitation we may have had about starting her early are gone. She will have to have 3 years of pre-school, though, since the birthday cutoff is Dec 1 and her birthday is Dec 9. So in the fall she'll be in 4 year old preschool (there's a little more leeway with preschools) three days a week, even though when the schoolyear starts she'll still be 3. We're trying not to get too far ahead of ourselves with it all.

I remember thinking when I was talking to friends with older kids about schools, and one mentioned that they need to write their names by Kindergarten. And that seemed like an improbable task - for a kid that young to know that?!? Now, after seeing all she's learning in preschool, I understand, and my frame of reference has changed considerably.

At this point, she'll take any challenge we send her way. Even some very basic addition and subtraction! (Just in the way of playing with items, taking one away, adding one back, etc.) Victoria loves a challenge. I'm not wishing her older, but I do love to see her grasp new concepts and come back eager for more!
