Everyday when I lay DD down for her nap, DS and I spend some time together doing school. It is a nice time of one on one. The format is pretty flexible and laid back. He has been learning letters, sounds, numbers and basic math. Yesterday a new student showed up for school. He is about 5 inches long, 3 inches tall. He is pink and rather cute. It was DS's piggy bank whom I shall call Mr. Pig. DS announced that Mr. Pig wants to learn so he would be doing school with us today. OK, this could be fun. Mr. Pig was an excellent student. He answered evey question he was asked (in a high pitch pig voice performed by DS.) He could read big words like January and Tuesday. He could spell, and loved to learn. This pig was good! DS also enjoyed showing him everything he knew. When it came time to try something new, DS was more than willing to try and Mr. Pig was impressed. It was a lot of fun having Mr. Pig around.
If he shows up today....I may just let him stick around.

Gosh, don't you just love learning the ways that kids learn! I find the mind of a child to be so amazing.
And sometimes, children just need a change of pace from the usual to boost there excitement with the every day.
I here ya...it was really fun and funny. He has already declared that Mr. Pig was coming to school today. If it is anything like yesterday we is more than welcome.
