Over the fall Morgan started going to a mini pre-school class two days a week for two hours. We wanted to see how she would go being away from us for a bit and give her a chance to interact with other kids her age since it's really just been her and at least one of us all the time for the past 2 years. Well she did really great with it and we've got her signed up to continue going through April. Yesterday she was supposed to start up again after the holiday break but had her very first snow day instead. Of course she doesn't quite realize that snow days are a good thing yet... she was actually quite a bit disappointed that she didn't get to go. Although I think she was even more disappointed later in the day when we didn't have time to hit playland after going to Target.
With Morgan doing her classes and soon to be signed up to start pre-school in the fall it's naturally making me curious to see if we can guess any future career ambitions. First she's got to have a photographic memory or something because Morgan has this uncanny ability to remember things - in great detail, mind you - of events or conversations or whatever that have taken place months ago. And that extends out to remembering song lyrics and specific words on each page of her books (I caught her flipping through the pages of one of her books and reciting exact phrasing of sentences from each specific page). So I'm sure she'll put that little talent to good use.
Speaking of songs, she does sing songs quite well but lately she's been singing along to the proper beat of the songs. Plus we are all quite familiar with her drumming ability so I have no doubt she'll end up being a musical genius. And she is doing some wonderful creations with play dough so sculpting could certainly be a possibility. She's got about 3 different kitchen play sets now plus loves helping with the cooking so we've got chef on the list. Dr. Morgan has a nice ring to it as she likes walking around checking our heartbeats with her stethoscope. And lately she's got this funny fascination with boats as we've been playing that game where the floor is the water and the rug/chair/sofa/bed is the boat so I could totally see her sailing around the world or something.
But for right now, especially with school coming up, Morgan will absolutely be voted class clown. And Simon will probably follow in her footsteps with that. His favorite show: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon - preferably the reruns at 3am. Definitely a chip off the ol' block, that one.
