In an attempt to facilitate some preschool-type homeschooling, I have been checking out books at the library that cover various subjects in which Aiden expresses interest. We've learned about hibernation, winter and the seasons. The last few weeks we covered outer space. Aiden's interest in space began when we bought him a solar system floor puzzle. He seemed to become even more interested while we watched the Cosmos special on TV. After reading numerous books about space and completing the floor puzzle several more times, he is now able to identify the planets. I think that's pretty impressive for a three year old. We FaceTimed with his Auntie Amber this past Friday and he asked that she watch him complete the puzzle and Amber and I quizzed him on planet identification. Amber was so impressed with Aiden that she's offered to buy him a glow in the dark solar system for his room. I love that she does whatever she can to encourage our little guy. And I love that he is so enthusiastic about learning.
