I have 3 dd ages 12, 2 and 1. I just found WTM in the last 6 months. I was researching the best way to teach my 2 youngest. Soon as I heard about it everything clicked and I knew that was the perfect fit.
Right before this discovery however, I put dd age 2 on a waiting list for a preschool. It's a private school and the class is 2 hrs twice a week. There is a waiting list but after talking to the teacher at great length in the beginning of the year, we were offered a spot.
In the mean time I am so surpised at the possiblity of a classical education for the kids that I took dd out of private school (grade 7) to start her ASAP. She always been a strong in languae skills and just a book worm. The timing could not have been more perfect. DD had just entered a combined middle/high school and the sweet little book worm was getting exposed to things she's to niave to handle.
I'm in the process of planning the first full year of homeschooling with dd/12. The 2 year old is showing the same signs of teaching her self to read like the 12 year old did when she was that age. I read A LOT to the little one and they just can't get enough so they figure out how to do it them selves.
well today DH says
'Hey, don't we need to get the registration in for dd's preschool?'
I didn't answer.
I was crushed.
Did he not share in my excitment? Is it just a guy thing?
Did I neglect to keep him the loop?
He noticed my silence and said causally. 'I thought we wanted her to go for the socialization??'
I sit back and retreat mentally.
Every time we go ANYWHERE we and HE get's all kinds of compliments on how well behaved our kids are.
They are polite loving respectful and have a love of learning.
They love each other dearly, they feed each other and comfort each other. What kind of socialization could they possibly be lacking?
So am I over reacting?
It was me who put her on the waiting list last year.
Or am I just making a big deal about this and a few hrs a week would be good for her?
