One of the things I love about motherhood is observing the world through the eyes of a child. It is so unique; her world is often small, including only that which she can see right now. Other times is as big as her imagination will allow! Her perspective is simply charming!
Eliza Jane begins kindergarten in the fall. We received a letter from her teacher which included a handwriting "practice" page with instructions to work on correctly forming each letter. Eliza Jane has taken on the task and takes time each day to practice her letters, numbers, and "write words". It is time we enjoy together usually while listening to music. Today after spending nearly an hour working on "homework" I set the timer for 5 minutes and told her when it rang I would be done helping her. When she protested I said,
"Eliza Jane, I enjoy writing with you but I have GOT to get some housework done."
She replied,
"Well Mom, I have GOT to get ready for kindergarten!"
After a good chuckle to myself added another 5 minutes to the timer...the housework will wait!
Getting ready for kindergarten is a big task. I bet she thinks she will be teaching! What a sweetie.
