So you know I have two 3 year olds, right? Well, I suppose it's time for me to start schooling 'em. For reals, and not just what Nick Jr. does on television.
But in our home, because I am not too keen on the whole bringing home buckets of germs and spreading them around so that
I had put this structured learning off for a bit because I do think there is value in being a toddler and just being able to play. I've given them more time because I think they needed it, only now they've shown me that they are ready.

| Our first workbooks! |
Today we opened them up and did things.
I discovered that my boys are smart, yo! I mean, I know they are smart. I do hear them talk. But, now I have real, live, actual proof. They know things that I didn't know they know. Wow. (I am sure this points to the fact that I am such a good teacher that I am TEACHING them without even KNOWING it! Right? Ahem. Just agree with me here.)
They can rhyme! (There were kids in my kindergarten class who couldn't rhyme.)

| Done all by themselves! |
They can write their letters! (Well, we're working on it. What we lack in motor skills, we make up for with gusto.)
They can follow directions like circling things, and drawing things, and coloring things in!
All this adds up to some mad skillz all around. :-)
I was blown away.
