  Blissful, blissful Friday. Aidan was moved up a class today at school. I'm so relieved. His school squeezed us into the Sept. start date by putting him in with kids that were 18 months to 2 years. He was unbelievably older developmentally. His teacher said she' d miss having a student that could actually talk to her. I bet! He'll talk your ear off. His new class is all 2 and barely-turned 3 year olds. He was even sent home today with homework! A cute little worksheet with body parts in Spanish. They explained that the worksheets were meant to introduce in an early and no-stress way the idea of homework.
If he funnels into their formal pre-school program which is really a Vanguard prep program (Vanguard is Houston's college track, pretty tricky stuff but urlLink here's an article that explains it well), this little activity will be helpful. The point of learning at this age is not curriculum, but rather teaching them to love learning.
