Learning New Things

My Aunt came into town last month. I loved talking with her and her friend Chris.  They have been Mothers a lot longer than I have, which means they know a lot more than I do.  Every morning Audrey would come out of her room and they would read and play with her. It was like having my Mom around.  

I was talking about preschool one day, and they started talking about teaching their children. Annmarie's friend told me that she home schooled all of her children till college. She said she never went by a curriculum she just watched her children to find out their interests and she would teach them about those things.  Inspiration.

That was easy enough for me.  Audrey is interested in so many things.  She loves all things that have to do with flowers, the Moon, Stars, and Sky.  She loves to paint, and to sing, and I'm sure the list will continue to grow as I try to feed her love of learning new things.  

Today we learned about flowers and what it takes for them to grow.  We also learned about the parts of the flower, i.e.: leaves, stem, roots, petals, and the seed.  She got to plant her own flowers and water them.  It was so awesome to play on her interests and watch her excitement.  Everyday she wants to check on her flowers to see how they are growing and to see if they need water.  Maybe we'll try vegetables next time.  

Thank you dear Auntie for visiting and sharing your wisdom. I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering new things with this little girl. 

(Pay no attention to the door frame sitting on my back porch.  Lol.  Paul just replaced our back door.  Good times. Good times.)

 I inherited this beautiful Hibiscus plant from the previous owners of the house.  It makes me happy just to look at it.  Audrey has added this one to her watering rounds.  

 I have no idea what Paul is doing here. He's just handsome.  The End.
