Tracey called me yesterday to let me know that the kids are now enrolled in school -- sort of. There may be an overcrowding problem at the school closer to our house. However, we may have preference because we live in this community. We have an open house coming up on August 4 and then they start school on August 8.
It is strange thinking that my little babies are now going to start school -- but they are so ready for it! They are definitely excited to go to school and make friends and do all the things that they see on TV.
By the way, I got them this "game" form StudyDog.com that helps them from pre-Kindergarten through First Grade. Both of my kids are doing great with letters and numbers -- I am so proud of them!
I think having a computer for the last year has really helped them advance in their learning. Their current PC is loaded with Windows XP but I am about to put together a different system for them that will have a version of Linux in it. I will probably make it a dual-boot system so that they can explore both "worlds" and decide which one they are more comofortable with.
I can still clearly remember the first day we brought Noah home and he and I crashed on the couch! Now, all he wants to do is have fist fights / karate fights with me — he is such a boy!
MacKenzie is just as advance in computer skills as Noah is — she is a good learner and in some ways she has surpassed her teacher (Noah). MacK is very good with strategy games and only gives a response when she actually knows the answer (whereas Noah will guess and try again a lot).
It will be interesting to see how they do in school, especially in the first few days as they integrate into a completely new world to them. Stay tuned!
