A little nearly four-year-old came bouncing out of preschool today telling me about what they did in class. Since Veteran's Day is this Thursday they they were able to participate in the School District's Veteran's Day parade down main street. Every kiddo loves a parade! But, she was most excited to tell me the Pledge of Allegiance, which she had learned today. Instead of trying to explain the listening experience, I will just put the mp3 up for your listening pleasure.

I was incredibly impressed! A few hours in preschool and she was able to recite a pretty good amount of the Pledge of Allegiance. They do such a fantastic job at that preschool! I was just beaming while listening to her and, at the end, worked very hard to hold back my giggles and tears at the same time! I praised her for a fantastic job but, she'll never really know how much she impressed me today and how much joy she gave me with her little ditty. Watching children learn is an incredible experience. Not much else compares. This reminds me how much I need to closely pay attention to what my kids are doing and how they are learning or else I'm going to miss it while in this whirlwind of life, kids and work.
