Getting ready for VPK

Katie and Ben start preschool in a couple weeks for the first time ever! Katie will be entering VPK (voluntary pre-K) and will be expected to know some educational basics that (as far as I knew...) they USED to teach in Kindergarten. So she and I have been spending our afternoon "quiet time" working on a preschool workbook and she LOVES it. I must admit, I miss watching my soaps and catching up on the dishes and e-mail during this time, but it has been awfully nice spending some quality time with her. And now that we know for sure that I'm starting nursing school in a few weeks, these are my last precious days as a stay-at-home mom. It's bittersweet.
