Back to learning.....in her own way.

Today dd is not wanting to get back to a routine of doing conventional learning after 2 weeks off for the holidays. She seems to be missing her Dad, who had to go back to work today.
Even though she is not doing conventional learning with a pencil in hand she is still learning. Today she is more interested in watching educational shows - which is very unusual in the fact that she is wanting to watch tv - she is really enjoying "How it's Made" , "How Do They Do It?" and any nature show I can find for her.
I don't mind if she wants to have a relaxed learning day. We have had a very busy 2 weeks with visiting, having visitors and many late nights. So as long as she is watching educational shows she is allowed to veg. The bonus for me since I do watch some of this with her I learn something new too.
She did say that after lunch she will do some work in her math book.

Welcome 2009

Hello! Happy New Year to anyone reading.
It's a new year and a time of new beginnings. Dd has already made a new "2009" sign for the pocket calendar. It was the first thing she wanted to do :). She wrote it in purple...her fav' colour of course. She didn't make it to midnight last night, but she tried. Unfortunately Dh and I were up until about 3:30 this morning so dd waking at 9:00 was a bit rough.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day for a great start to a prosperous 2009.
