Im learning


As you know we took Taylor out of the home daycare she has been going to for the last couple years and put her in preschool.
She had a little bit of a rough transition as would be expected. New school, new teachers, new kids, new routine. Rough.
Like most children Taylor is pretty shy when faced with new things and new people. So for the first couple weeks we had to ease her into her new school. I had to be very careful to call it "school" and not daycare because she would quickly correct me.
Well she had adjusted, she likes her teachers and has made many new friends. They have water day every friday and even took a trip to the Bridgeway water park. She also has gymnastics every Wed afternoon which she LOVES! and many many more activities.
The last few months at her old daycare she was learning how to write her name and learning the alphabet and her numbers and all of the "preschool" stuff. Obviously they didnt "just" start a few months ago but put in more time to prepare her for school. She loved bringing home her projects to show us. I noticed she wasnt really progressing forward and this was something I kept thinking about and pondering. A few reasons went through my head.
Well....since we made the move she has made a huge improvement and she is EXCITED about learning! WE ARE HAPPY PARENTS!
When we are having little "family meetings" or going over things with Cole or just talking, she likes to show us all the things she is learning. She gets really excited and says, "See im learning, its just uuuugghh *smile*" then she will go back to write something else to show us and say the same thing. She is very proud of herself and we are very proud of her. Although I think her BIG brother is secretly more proud, he loves when she writes something new or tells him something new she learned, its so innocent and pure to watch the joy on their faces.
Its the little things.
