Growing & Learning...

As usual there isn't any structured learning we've planned for Little Missy... we just go along with whatever she fancies and ride on such opportunities to introduce new words and new experiences to her...
She simply loves to drag out the re-usable shopping bags everytime she sees them... and we'll just go along with her by telling her to go shopping... and we'll place some of her toys or books into the bags... allowing her to walk all over the house with the bag... her parading in the house caught her brother's attention and he too joined in the fun...
We've noticed that she's able to give us slightly more than 5secs of her attention when we introduce books to her now... and she loves to leaf through books that have real pictures in them. I bought this book that cost S$7.90 from a book fair in one of the shopping malls. I like it that this book has 1,000 pictures with words in which I could introduce to Little Missy.

One morning, we flipped to a page with a frying pan, and Little Missy was very quick to drag out the cookery toy set and told me "pan, pan..." (her way of telling me she wants to play with the frying pan)... within the page there was also fork & spoon and she helped herself to the cutlery in our kitchen...and when she saw a cup of water in the book, she requested for a drink...

We had a good time of playing and learning in that morning even though it was only for a mere 5-10mins... *happy mama*

Homeschooling is something my wife & I have been considering. How do you separate the school time from the play/home time? Are you involved in gatherings with other children that are homeschooled? Thanks
