Homeschool?

Last week Steven and I came up with the idea that we want to give our kids a better head start in life. So this Monday along with my new workout routine, I started a somewhat structured day for the "Big kids". Honestly I was pretty excited to bring out all my old things from when I took child development at city college. This first week has been quite an adjustment considering that my whole body is sore and I'm toting Roxy around every step of the way... Coffee anyone? But I must say It seems to be paying off. Zora is doing much better with her shapes, colors and overall communication already. And Steven is just, well... enjoying himself. He was already excelling in most areas except speech. Im enjoying spending my day in the "Classroom" with them. I feel like Im helping them and ultimately getting the break from them that I've been silently hoping for. Because at the end of the day, they seem ready to get the hell away from me. Which doesn't make feel so bad because now the feeling is mutual lol. Also they seem to appreciate when they get to watch Nick Jr. at the end of the day much more. So far it has been puzzles, Bead bracelets, and rock mosaics, to name a few. And tomorrow we're making octopuses and macaroni art along with our regularly scheduled activities. Seriously Ive got to give it to the teachers in the world. Coming up with educational yet FUN activities is no easy task. And sticking to them is no joke when you're tending to a 4 month old as well. Teaching (in this form) is hard work. But so rewarding.

Needless to say Im super excited when Steven comes home for lunch and even more so at the end of the day...
