Guess who starts preschool?!

Chase does! He is so excited and is so eager to learn his letters and numbers and is getting pretty good at writing his own name! I really can't even believe how fast he is growing. And guess who else is going to start preschool? That's right, Ty and Gracie Girl!! They're all old enough! And I am going to be their teacher!! Yeah! I am so excited! I have been debating a long time now whether or not to put Chase in a preschool or to do it myself. Although I am not certified for teaching, I do have some experience. I got online and found a really neat site. It's valuesparenting.com and they have on there what is called Joy School. It's by Linda and Richard Eyre. Some of you may have heard of them. They're always on Good Things Utah. So Joy School is a program you order and it has everything you need to teach. The lessons are already put together for you and it includes time schedule, stories, pictures, games, music, handouts, and activities for the entire preschool session, and Music CDs that correspond to the lesson plan. I am so excited to do this with my kids! I think it'll be a good experience for all of us and since James is still in school, they want to be like Daddy and go to school too!! Wish me luck!

Also, the count down begins now until James graduates!! Yeah! That means just six more months until we can get our own place to live. Don't get me wrong, we have been so very blessed to be living in our family's home,(huge Blessing), but I am so so ready for my own place. Mostly for decorating purposes! I cannot wait!!

That is such a great idea. You'll have to let me know how it goes.

That will be so nice when James is graduated! It will be fun to venture into the real world.

I did the Joy School curriculum when I was in preschool. I've looked into doing for Nathan. I think it's a really neat idea. I'm excited to hear how it goes for you!

Hi guys! Preschool is so fun. Abbey just started last week and she was so excited. I have heard good things about joy school. Good Luck and that is great that James is almost done! It is definitely the best when you can decorate and do ANYTHING you want to your own home!!
