We thought about sending Mia and Ava to a preschool program for 2-year-olds this fall, but decided to sign them up for some other activities instead. The money we would have spent on preschool, will go towards various activities. At different times throughout the next year, the girls will be introduced to gymnastics, ballet, swimming, t-ball and soccer. We hope they find a couple activities they like and we'll let them choose one or two to pursue. In the meantime, I'll be putting some of my college education to use and playing teacher at our very own version of preschool:

| All ready for my students |
 |
| Their first crayon boxes |
 |
| Decorating name tags |
 |
| Things that start with the letter A |
 |
| Finding "A" in the sensory box |
I began mapping out a preschool curriculum at the beginning of Summer, but then stumbled upon a downloadable kit for only $10. It includes 10 months of themed lessons which I can easily adapt for the girls. Here's an example:

We are two days in and they love it. I'm a big fan, too!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!! Even though Emrie is going to 'preschool' it's more of a mom's day out, so I am still interested in doing learning activities with her at home. I am definitely going to look into this curricula.
