Upstart Graduation

I know we posted about Lydia starting the Waterford Upstart Preschool Program this past year, but I just wanted to do a quick post with a few thoughts that I had about the program and how good it has been for our family.

Lydia really enjoyed getting on the computer for 15 minutes each day and thought it was enjoyable. Most days she would do the 15 minutes of letters/words and then wanted to keep playing and doing numbers and science. After January, Austin really started to love watching Lydia do preschool and they would sit next to each other and it was so cute. Eventually we got Austin his own account so he could do it as well. They loved doing it together and loved getting to the songs and games when they did words and numbers for long enough.

Also, a huge shout out to Shantel for helping her all year. It is amazing that by the end of this, she could really read and understand so much. Here are some cute pictures from her graduation and a couple from when she was doing it during the year.

Congratulations Lydia!
