Kindergarten

I never would have thought that I would be sitting here every morning with this little girl reading books, doing worksheets, math, writing, and spelling.  I never planned to keep her home, until it happened.  I love it.  I love watching her learn something new everyday.  She is doing so well and I couldn't be more proud.  

I don't know why but my bathroom door has become the achievement board.  I started giving her a sticker every time she read a book and she deemed my bathroom door as the best spot to put them.  She tells me often how beautiful it is and asks if I like her decorating.  I'm just glad that she's excited about reading. 

She has now made it clear to me that she's going to "real school" next year.  Part of me is sad that I won't be able to enjoy these moments with her anymore, and there's another part of me that knows she's ready. I'm preparing myself mentally right now for the day she heads off to "real school".  Who knows, maybe in the future she'll decide to do home school again.  I wouldn't mind. :) .   

In addition to our daily school work Audrey has been going to a music class, a ballet class, and an art and science class which we do with a bunch of other Moms who home school.

She tells me that she loves her music class best of all.  She asks me all week when it's time for music class.  I'm so glad that I learned about the "Let's Play Music" program.  It might be the best program out there for younger children who eventually want to take voice or piano lessons.  I love it so much that I'm thinking about becoming a teacher next year.  It'll give me something to do while I'm missing this little girl. :) 

I hope she continues to love music the way that I do.
