Favorite Things

Audrey's favorite thing in the morning is to bite her toast into different shapes and then have me guess what shape it is.  This morning it was a shoe, and yesterday it was a train.  We're getting pretty elaborate over here. Her favorite thing to eat is pancakes.  She asks for them every meal.  I've got to draw the line somewhere.  In her eyes I probably would be the worlds greatest Mom if we had breakfast everyday all day.  

She's obsessed with being 4.  The other day I told her that at her next birthday she would be 5 and she started crying.  She does not want to be 5.  Somehow it's a little less glamorous than 4.  I totally get it though.  When 5 rolls around you have to take a little more responsibility...meaning school starts. She doesn't seem excited about that either.  

She says she wants to stay home with me and play forever and ever.  That sound pretty good to me.  She is my other half.  

I've been thinking about homeschooling for the last year.  I've been worried about how young she is going to be at the start of the school year.  Well this year they officially announced all day kindergarten in our area.  I'm pretty sure they could teach kindergartners all they need to know with an hour a day, but now we've got glorified babysitting going on. The announcement sealed my decision.  We are homeschooling.  There's a huge community of home schoolers here that I'm really excited about, and 3 families that home school in my ward at church.  We'll see how it goes this year and then we'll make a more permanent decision.  Who knows, we might love it so much that we stick with it.
