We're heading out to the Liberty Bell Memorial Museum today. I hope it is fun, as well as educational. We began formal schooling last week and did well. Yesterday, however, did NOT go well.
SOMEONE who shall remain nameless allowed my daughter to stay up 2 hours past her normal bedtime Sunday night. I warned that it would not go well. And I was right. All day yesterday, said daughter whined and cried and acted extremely irritable. We did not accomplish any school work and FINALLY the child took a nap 30 minutes before a playdate. I woke her in time for the playdate because I'd spent all day trying to get her to catch up on rest and that was the stipulation. Plus I wanted her to go to bed back on schedule.
So she's reading about Plymouth history and quite pleasant this morning. Yeah!
On a side note, we will be traveling to Boston Friday, September 4 and returning home Saturday, September 12. (I think the dates are right--the days are correct for sure!) We look forward to seeing our family and taking the kids to a living history museum-- Plimouth Plantation. Grace has been working very hard on a 8-unit "History Pocket" of Plymouth and Colonial life. We plan to visit a replica of the Mayflower and the unassuming "Plymouth Rock", as well! This will be a wonderful reward for her hard work. AJ, too, will enjoy chasing the chickens at the very least!! (We covered Columbus' discovery of the New World, and Ponce De Leon's discovery of America last year when we visited St. Augustine).
AJ started preschool yesterday. He was very excited about his teacher and his new friends and his new lunch box AND his new underpants! Then he walked into the classroom, completely overwhelmed by all the excitement, and fell to the floor sobbing. Apparently he recovered at snacktime. We will arrive earlier than most tomorrow to transition him a bit easier.
