She...Of COURSE she's not going to preschool! She's only 3, for crying out loud! She's in the best school possible for a 3-yr. old -- the school of life at home. There is ABSOLUTELY no substitution for Mommy time. Don't stress about being "formal" and doing "education"-related activities. Everything she does right now (play especially) is educational, and there is nothing more important than her learning that you love her and that she is an important part of your family.<br><br><br>Shorter Catechism for Children<br><br>Q. 11:Can you see God?<br><br>A.

This is great adv...You're a lifesaver, Rachel! This is great advice, and I'm going to try to get my devotional time with Emily started right away. I definitely need to get that catechism book--once Emily asked me if God was going to be at church, and I said, "Yes, of course God will be there." During the sermon she wispered to me, "They don't have God at this church, only the pastor." I guess she thought God was going to be preaching that day!<br><br><br>I also hope to be a little more thoughtful about the activities we're doing this "school year," since Emily's not going to pre-school like every other 2 and 3 year-old in Northern Virginia (WHAT?!?). You're right that we should do at least part of it during Erin's nap. She's pretty good at playing independently when Emily's not around, but otherwise she wants to do what Emily is doing. That poses a real problem when Emily's doing things that involve glue, scissors, or crayons!<br><br><br>Thanks a million! You're a great friend!!Carolnoreply@blogger.com
