Kendra & Kaylie School

With Kendra starting school, Kaylie has become very anxious to go along with her and learn herself. She gets her backpack ready and shoes on, and then she comes up and tells me, "Mom, I am going to school. Bye, I love you" and then blows me a kiss and heads to the front door. Today I actually thought she'd open the door and leave. During last school year I went to a teacher store and picked up a workbook for her to learn the alphabet. I didn't do it over the summer, but since she isn't going to be able to attend pre-school this year (it's just too expensive), I have started it up again. I was making copies of the pages and now I decided that I would just scan them and then print. That way when this little boy is ready to learn his letters I just have to go to the folder and print…less time. J She is pretty good with all her letters, but I still want to focus on them all individually again. Kaylie for sure knows A, B and C so we started with the letter D, which she knows also, but it had dinosaurs so that was where we decided to start.

Here are some cute pictures of her doing work at her desk in her room. She loves learning her letters. She keeps calling me into the room to tell me something about what she is doing. After this she is going to watch her Leap Frog Letter Factory show and then probably head down for a nap. I am looking forward to what seems like an easy day so far. Kendra gets out of school at 2pm today, since it's Wednesday so she has more time for homework and to help me around the house. She has been such a great helper lately with cleaning up around the house.

Oh yeah, Kaylie had a doctor's appointment on Monday and we discovered that the both of us are allergic to trees. We don't know what specific tree, but Kaylie has been cured of it and hopefully that shouldn't be a problem for her anymore. I know it will be a problem for me until I get to make some appointments for myself, but in the meantime I want to focus on Kaylie. She is looking so much better, less eczema everywhere and her eyes are getting less red and dry, it is wonderful. This doctor deal might seem a bit odd, but it is working and I am happy with that!

I am also adding pictures from Kendra's first day of school, she looked adorable like always!
