I forgot to add what I will be doing with Katie this week. I want to add that I don't really do "school" with her. She's only 2.5 years old. I really do see it as fun time with her. It's a way to interact with her. I never force her to accomplish or do something that she isn't capable of doing. I don't believe in children that are one trick ponies so that we can brag about their "accomplishments". I just felt the need to bring that up.
