After all of my talk of no formal preschool, I was cleaning out the closet this weekend and came across some old materials I bought for Olivia but never used. I threw them in John’s box and invited him to work one-on-one with me between Olivia’s lessons. He loved it — loved the attention and the activities. We are going to keep it up as long as he is interested.
