My Wonderful Girl is Growing Up

My ball of energy, 3.5yr old daughter, Evie is growing up so fast. She starts preschool on Thursday. She’s ever so excited about all the fun stuff she’ll be doing. I have told her she must do 4 things….
1. Be polite and courteous to others (teachers and other kids)
2. Listen to the teacher
3. Try your best
4. Have FUN!!!

I’m positive that she will have a ball! She will be into everything, and as evidenced at the induction morning, she’ll be trying to answer all teacher’s questions. I know every parent believes their child to be advanced, but I really do think she is academically ahead (and I’m no Tiger Mum, believe me… when other mums say their kid only watches 1/2 hr of TV a day, I think to myself, mine has watched that and we haven’t even had breakfast yet). She’s got a massive vocabulary and is verbose about everything (trying to get a word in edgeways is hard), she knows her alphabet (capitals and small letters), she knows numbers up to 20 (and a few sporadic ones over that), she can spell and write her own name, she knows colours, she can do sums with numbers up to 5, and she can read a few words. Naturally I am proud of her achievements, and amazed that she has absorbed everything she sees and does like a sponge. It almost seems unbounding her learning. As a new chapter of her life begins I wonder what amazing things she will surprise us with next
