Jack came home with his first official homework assignment from preschool last week. This was very exciting for both him and Sophie, for different reasons. For him, it meant that he was now privileged to sit at the table with Sophie while she works on her own homework. For Sophie, it was an opportunity to play teacher and supervise him. The assignment was a simple tracing page, which Sophie embellished by writing "All Aboard" on the train at the top and later taped a sweet note for Jack's teachers to read him the next day at school. You can click on the picture below to read the note.
I loved watching her delight in helping him, and his acceptance of that help. Even more, I loved the genuinely sweet sentiment behind the note Sophie wrote and that it made Jack feel so special and loved by his big sister.
I'm sure the novelty of homework may eventually wear off, but for now I'll just choose to enjoy watching them find joy in something that could seem like much more of a chore.
