Getting Ready for Pre-K.......early.....

Ryan is wanting to go to school sooooooo bad!!! He asks daily if he gets to go to Pre-K yet. So I told him he'll go next year, but we better make sure he's going to be ready. Normally for daycare we use Funshine Express Curriculum, but this year most of the kids are so young (8 months-23 months) that I decided to create my own this year. For Ryan though we are using Brighter Vision Curriculum just to give him an added boost for next year.

So this week I've been using their beginner books just to see where he is with his learning. I've really been amazed. He's doing great on his colors, shapes, sizes, counting, problem solving, and even adding numbers!! So I think next week we'll start the next stage books - luckily I have TONS of these books already - before I found Funshine these are what I used with Dylan & Kale.

Of course Ryan isn't too accepting of my answer about how quickly he gets to start school. Every morning he gets himself dressed(faster then Dylan), packs his backpack, eats his breakfast then asks for me to pack him a lunch. He wants to go with Daddy & Dylan too. He's not very happy when Dylan gets to go to class & he doesn't though.....But, he is getting dropped off at daycare now instead of waking up there!! LOL

But as you can see he's VERY into finger painting. You'd be amazed at the things I convince him to do by telling him he can finger paint when he's done. (clean his room, put away his laundry, eat his lunch...) It's so great! Hopefully he'll still enjoy finger painting when he's a teenager!! Hey I can hope! :)
