The other day, my girl did a floor poster, all by herself. I put the paper on the floor, and pulled out the dot paints, and she did the rest. She made a beautiful garden of flowers, with a family of birds flying in the sky. Then she added Clifford the Big Red Dog, and his friend T-Bone, as well as bones for each of them. Then she put herself in the garden. She finished her poster, and then came over to me (I was working on cutting out her Easter/Spring Dress on the floor nearby). She invited me to go 'outside' with her and play ball. She agreed to help me with the fabric until 'outside' was dry enough for play time. When the paint had dried, we each stood on one side of the poster and tossed the ball back and forth. I thought this was a great way to enjoy flowers and birds and play outside, and yet not have to worry about the rain or the dirt! And I am always impressed with my girl's creativity!

You are providing so many more structured learning activities for your daughter than i am for my kids! We have "school" at home, but it is nowhere near as cool as what you do with Elise. Kudos to you. Don't you have friends in the area that you can do a joy school with? I'm thinking of doing one in the fall.
