Ben and I were watching the girls swim at their lessons last week when I asked him if he was starting to gear up for school this fall. I told him I hoped to have a short preschool with Ev one day a week and would he help with that?
He proceeded to describe the preschool program he had thought about for her and felt she should probably be in a daily program. Then he started in on Kyrie and how she should be starting this Latin this year. I pointed out that he hadn't started Latin until 3rd grade and she was only going to be in 1st. "I want her to get a good start," he responded.
Clearly, he doesn't yet share my better late than early philosophy. But I was very excited to find out I have a T.A. for the year. And more importantly, I have a son who is excited about education. When asked about vocational interests, Ben consistently says he wants to be an artist, illustrator and Latin teacher.
But personally, I'm glad we still have more than a month of summer left!
