Easy as A, B, C,

 

We're four weeks into our "cram for the kindergarten readiness test" program.  And doing quite well.  I could take credit for the fact that both girls (Ellie and even Leighton!)  know all their alphabet sounds.  Or I could give credit where its due, and thank Leap Frog and their genius, child captivating Letter Factory Video.  I don't know what it is about this thing, but they've done it right.  They should give a money back guarantee or something.  I'm telling you it works like a charm.  Any parent I've ever talk to about it, raves.   I've also been having fun with letter crafts from the Totally Tots website.  After taking major pressure off myself to have a rigorous home preschool curriculum, and just slipping in little things here and there, I've seen lots of growth and had fun too.    

Pressure off self...new motto that seems to be ebbing it way into several areas of my life.  And its a very good thing.  Especially for a girl who has had to live the last month without her stress releasers, my ex-bffs diet coke and coffee.  Week E... here we come.
