Growing Up
Today I witnessed something cool.
My second child is starting kindergarden this fall. She had received a letter from her new teacher with her first homework assignment. The homework was something simple like answering questions about her and who she was and what she liked. My daughter was very excited and wanted to answer all the questions writing down the answers herself. What was cool was watching her older sister, who is 10, help her write each letter and number to answer the questions. Her sister had her get a blank piece of paper out and practice on that before the using the provided paper. Her sister was very patient and let her even make a few mistakes then gave her some advice on what to do different the next time.
Both of my kids are growing up!
