Mommy School (2013-2014)

Mommy School has been a little delayed this year.
I'm not exactly sure if or when I'll get into a normal routine,
but this is what I would like to focus on...

Little Dudeman:

• Fine motor skills (focusing mostly on scissors since he knows how to write all of his letters pretty well)
• Tricky reading rules (he knows how to read things phonetically as long as those silly English rules don't apply)
• Math (simple addition & subtraction)
• Spanish ABCs & basic words (he needs the challenge since he can say it in English forwards & backwards)
• Potty training (I would love to not be buying diapers all the time)
• Drinking in actual cups (he gave up when he was younger because he doesn't like things spilling on him)

Little Princess:

• ABCs (she has bits of it memorized, but not the whole thing in order)
• 1-10 (shouldn't be terribly hard)
• shapes & colors (I think she knows her colors pretty well; but the shapes, not so much...)
• Potty training (two kids potentially out of diapers... a girl can dream, right?)
• Drinking in actual cups (seriously, real cups are so much easier to clean than sippy cups)

I've been teaching them a little here & a little there,
but just haven't gotten into a routine yet.
But realistically, parenting is all about the spontaneous teaching moments.
Often times that's when we (parents & children alike) learn the most.
