Making circles

I don't really believe in formal preschool, but we have been having some school-ish fun lately. Jaan has been fascinated with scissors for a while, and now he finally has his own pair. He loves to practice with them. We've also been talking about colors and shapes a lot. He doesn't seem to have learned any of them, but he loved making cheese circles. (That's what he was doing in the picture.)
I was thrilled recently when we were outside, collecting fall leaves. Jaan had his little bucket with him. I suggested that he put only yellow leaves into it, and after asking me "uh?" a few times as he held up different ones, he figured out what I meant. He brought home a whole bucket full of yellow leaves.
Maybe we don't do preschool, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun learning!

Honey--
It is with great joy we observe Jaan at "preschool." With the activities you provide for him, you are laying a critical foundation for life and learning. And nothing compares the intensity of a focused preschooler.
Keep up the great work! We love you all--Mom
The look of deep concentration on Jaan's face is just precious! Preschool is hard work! : ) What a sweet little boy!
I would love to see some photos of the town you live in and the autumn leaves the next time you take a walk! Enjoy this season!
