Lilly is doing fantastic in pre-school and loves it! I really like it too, I have 2 hours a couple of days a week to work on 'things'. So far I've canned salsa and pickles, exercised, lost 5lbs and took a nap :) It's been nice, at first I was really sad and quite anxious that my baby was growing up. Now that we finished up our 2nd week my emotions have settled down and I am enjoying it. Lilly is loving pre-school. She is getting the extra stimulation that I couldn't give her and seems much more content. Lilly's teacher has really put me at ease too. She is so nice and the kids just love her.
Last week when I picked Lilly up from pre-school her teacher came up to me and asked me if Lilly was reading yet. She said that they went over all the sounds of the letters of the alphabet and Lilly knows ALL of them! I wasn't suprised, because Lilly loves the alphabet and lately we've been encouraging her to sound out words. She sent Lilly home with a book, and Lilly READ IT ALL BY HERSELF! Also, in pre-school they learned about astronomy and Lilly was the only student who knew what the big dipper was :) Lilly's teacher said that the kids never know that and was impressed with her again. Yup, she's a smarty pants! That is one reason why I really wanted Lilly to be in pre-school. Even though she is only 3, she really loves to learn and it is already showing. If you are ever interested in Lilly's pre-school her teacher keeps a blog http://thestudiopreschool.blogspot.com/ It's so fun to be able to have a little glimpse of what they do while at school. I am really excited for Lilly to learn more and hope that I can give her the tools she needs to keep using her wonderful mind.

That's so great! It's a testament to you that she is doing so well. And, yes, we have our little one in a charter school...you may want to consider that for your smarty too!
You post so fast, I can't keep up! Today, Ben said Lilly looks so old, and she does! We've only been gone for 2 months, but when we look at her, it seems like years! She turning into a very beautiful girl. And I've always known she's Miss Smarty Pants. She'll do great!
