some days I wonder if our kids would thrive better in the burbs, with a real yard and a house. and some days, like today, I know we’re in the right place right now 💓 we had the best morning at the park, full with lots of jungle gym-ing, splash pad-ing, riding on a carousel 🎠, and lunching at one of our favorite spots. happy weekend, everyone! 👏🏼 #jerseycity #25weekspregnant
luca's last day of homeschool preschool! ✏️📚🍎👏🏼
it's honestly wild to think that I homeschooled luca for 9 months. when luca's school announced last summer that, due to COVID, they would only be offering virtual classes for the 2020/2021 school year (at the full tuition rate 🙄), I said "no thank you!" and found the @busytoddler #PlayingPreschool program online, printed it out, and started a few days before his 3rd birthday, last September. 📓
even though school never took more than an hour each day, there were certainly times when I felt like throwing the lesson book in the garbage and quitting. there were really, really tough days (when I lost my cool) and I had to dig deep as a parent. never have I been more appreciative (and in awe!) of teachers. wrangling one toddler to do an hour of homeschool a day was tough enough- I can't imagine a classroom of them!! 🥴
I've learned patience over these last 9 months to say the least, but I've also grown so much as a mother through this experience. 👩👦 I've learned where luca struggles, his insecurities, his confidences, his limits and boundaries, when he can be pushed, and I've had the beautiful privilege of seeing more prideful moments than I ever would have seen if I hadn't had to homeschool him.
when we started homeschool, he barely knew his colors. by the end of homeschool, he learned skills like counting, the alphabet, weather and seasons, the days of the week, months of the year, pre-math, he sharpened so many fine motor skills and his vocabulary, and most of all, he learned to believe in himself. he's developed so much, and I'm so happy that we stuck with it. and I am so proud of him 💖
at the end of this morning's final school day, I did throw the lesson book in the garbage. 🗑️ and I have to say, it felt pretty amazing. 🙈 🤣 and yes, he's enrolled in school this fall 🎒
my cheeks are seriously sore from laughing after my @capitalonecafe livestream event with @jonathandbennett and @candaceparker 🤪 also, I did my own hair and makeup for the event, and I’m pretty proud of myself 💁🏻♀️ more to come, and thanks to everyone who tuned in 😘 now who’s watching the new season of @workinmomsnetflix that just dropped?! 👇🏼
happy 2nd birthday to my smart, sassy, loving, fun, and gorgeous baby girl ROMA 💓 your nickname has been sweetness since you were born, because it’s the best way to describe you, you’re positively the sweetest (you’re TWO SWEET 🍦🍭!) we love you so so so much and are so proud of you! 😘
