Just like her Mommy

Yesterday Katelynn asked me if I wanted to play school with her.  So, of course, I said I did and she immediately started giving me spelling words and work to do as her student.  It was so cute to watch her try to mimic what she does in preschool. 

My teacher:  Ms. Katelynn
 Spelling Test.  This was the teacher's test sheet for my spelling words :)
 And this was my workbook.. where she wrote my name for me and then gave me a pencil to write my spelling words as she dictated them.  My favorite was when she said "CAT.  Kuh.. not a K"


I also find myself amazed each day at how much more I see myself as a child in her.  Somehow she is migrating towards most of what were my biggest interests as a child.  I remember enjoying playing school with all my dolls and friends.  I am pretty sure my mom still has clothes pins with my student's names on them, and Katelynn and Justin have actually started reading some of my books that I had as a child that I had marked up as library books that I used in conjunction with my "playing teacher" days.  Her love for coloring and writing and reading, playing with dolls and barbies; those were all my top interests as a child.  I suppose many of those are any young little girls favorite things to do, but it is still such a flashback for me as I watch my own little girl engaging in all the activities I can remember doing at her age.
