OMG - I Am Stumped Again!

Just when I think I got it - nope...not so much!  My son is almost 4yrs old and I thought we were doing so well.  He knows his shapes, his colors, how to count to 20, he can sing the alphabet song...he is learning to identify letters and numbers.  Then, we had a parent teacher conference at his "preschool" aka La Petite Daycare center...now it seems that he can no longer count to 20, he messes up the alphabet song and only will identify colors and shapes when he feels like it - WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Sorry to use strong language, but I am so upset about this...what are they doing at his school?  Granted I have been distracted lately.  I started my own business and sometimes I do work or blog etc. on his days at home with me.  We don't go over these things everyday, but I thought he was learning it at school or is it really a school?  I am beginning to think NOT.  So, what to do about it?

Today, I decided to make a schedule that includes very little TV and lots of alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes.  We did really well all morning, then we went to an activity to make a turkey plate at a local studio.   He had a complete meltdown...not sure why.  I was told by his "teachers" at school to play games with him to learn, but I HATE games - I blame my sister for that she always won and I just don't enjoy them at all!!!  However, I am trying to play with him, but his attention span is 0 and it is just plain maddening!!!! 

When I got up this morning I was so sure what we were going to do and now I have no idea what we are doing.  It has been exhausting with tons of tears, yelling, frustration (on both parts) and sending him to his room - was it worth it?  I jsut don't know...who said he even needs to know his alphabet/numbers right now?  We have lots more fun when we just hang out watch TV, do activities and play outside...is that what we should be doing - I have NO idea...duh I am stumped again!!!

My Son Took My New Profile Pic!

I LOVE this pic - mostly because my son took it (he is only 3 almost 4 yrs old).  Good job huh?
