I thought Lily was delightful. I only felt bad that I couldn't understand what she was saying, and had to have you translate for me. <br /><br />I was just thinking tonight about the difference among my children, as evidenced by this: every night at bedtime, Bailey reads as much as she can before lights-out time, and often begs for extra time. Jonah looks at books in his bed until he falls asleep. But Audrey? Audrey loves nothing better than to draw and color in her numerous notebooks at bedtime, and often asks for extra time to stay up doing that. Audrey is never happier than when she's drawing and coloring; Bailey's never happier than when she's reading; and Jonah is following closely on Bailey's heels. I've raised them all the same, so it must be genetics. At least, that's my theory. <br /><br />And you already know that part of the reason my kids are/were enrolled in kindergarten is so that I'm exempt from teaching reading! I'm right there with you! :-)Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544930173539144894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935544022414305976.post-75843865349567047732012-01-18T21:31:02.046-05:002012-01-18T21:31:02.046-05:00I have my MAT and the idea of teaching little ones...I have my MAT and the idea of teaching little ones to read scares me to death. I even took a class on this to renew my teaching certificate in 2009---it helped some, but it still feels like a HUGE challenge. I totally don't blame you at all.CARRIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137602199313584768noreply@blogger.com
