What the niecelings are working on now.

All told, I think Ana's right where she should be. Assuming nothing comes up on Wednesdays, we're definitely starting a free Spanish program at the SICM this year - it's largely free play, but in Spanish, so what she learns will probably be minimal, but it's a good start to more structured programs later. And I'm really pushing for Ana to take a French class. I'll even pay for it myself, I think it's so important. That just leaves the swim/ballet everybody's already talking about, Jenn's all into that too.

Mostly, she learns a lot by tagging along with her big sister when her big sister does stuff. She's right where she should be too, I believe.
And that is the state of the kiddos. I haven't mentioned all the stuff Ana's working on, of course - that's why it's important for me, at least, to remember that she's only three.
I'm so used to thinking of her as a big kid now. I was startled one day when I saw her dress herself up in a firefighter's costume. She looked so small! Like a little kid! Of course she did, because she *is* a little kid. I just forget, and I shouldn't - it's no profit to anybody if I get impatient with her and expect her to know stuff she can't know yet.
