Tutoring

Today was my first day tutoring at Longfellow School. I was nervous about it for a couple reasons. I have not left Libby with too many people during the day, so this would be a new experience for her. But strangely enough, I was worried that I would not be of service to these kids who needed help with their reading. I don't know why I felt this way. I read a ton, read to Libby several times a day, and she knows her alphabet. Turned out my concerns were for no good reason. Libby had a great time at Kris's house. She gets to play with two little boys about her age. The caregiver is just wonderful and can handle all of the kids. The best thing is that Molly, Kris's 4 year old daughter, comes home and gets to play with Libby. Libby was in heaven. It was so cute to see. As for tutoring, I sat with Kris with one student while she read with her. I then had several students who came out to read with me. They are all at different levels, but the ones I saw have been making good progress. It turned out to be much more fun than I would have guessed, and it felt good, to boot. It is now on our calendar for the rest of the school year.

Libby had a restless night last night, so is napping quite hard right now. Daddy and Mama are pretty darn tired, also.

Our Trivia contest is coming up on Friday and we are very excited to be playing again with such a great team. Very thankful for friends who will be watching Libby over the weekend so that I can play. Could not bare leaving her overnight, so will come back each night to bring her home and put her to bed. Mama will not mind sleeping in a bed instead of a floor, either :)

Off to that pile of laundry that never seems to get smaller...
