P is for...

Preschool!
...and the 4 mangy pirates that come with it.

Preschool is over $100 bucks a month (for 4 year old kids mind you), so a couple smart and savy ladies set up their own elite group. Now we can smile at all the money we're saving and fun we're having. This is one of the many perks of choosing to stay home with the boys.

Side note: Just google "preschool outline for the letter __" for ideas. Anyone could do it.

Oh, and when I worry if I'm missing something, I remember how my friend went to the kindergarten teacher and asked what concepts the kids needed to know before kindergarten starts. Her reply was simply this:

"Learn how to cut with scissors."
"Learn how to use glue."
"Learn how to use the restroom and wash their hands."

Check, check and check.

Love Liam's look of concentration. If drums or super heros were a subject, he'd be far ahead of the class.

I'm so excited and jealous at the same time. I tried and tried and tried to get a joy school group going when Gage was 4, and nobody wanted to! Grrr! My heart is happy that he gets to be with you. It reminded me of the Ensign article "Mom - at home".

You are such a good mom! And, yes, smart and savvy, too. Your boys will have so many blessed memories of these fun learning times you have created.
