I enrolled Amanda in the Saturday morning “Reading Readiness” parent-child class at our local library, and she is thoroughly enjoying it. Originally I thought she might be too shy to do the “show and tell” portion at the beginning or talk to the teachers, but it turns out she is much more outgoing when not in her big sister’s shadow. When Miss Natalie greeted her at the door at the first class, Amanda proudly announced, “Eva stayed home today because it’s MY TURN to go to the library now. I’m a big girl!”
All this past year Amanda has watched as Eva got to take swim lessons, ballet lessons, and library classes without her, because she wasn’t old enough yet. Now she finally gets to do something on her own, just her and Mommy, and she’s so proud!
