Education is extremely important to me. For the past seven years, I have taught early elementary. As a teacher, I know how important parent involvement is in education. Now being a mother, the most important child in my life is my daughter, Kaylynn Michelle. I have so many dreams and aspirations for her. Most importantly I want Kaylynn to have the ability to do what ever she wants in life. If that is going to Harvard or Yale (which I hope she does), then I will support her in any way that I can. That is why I am putting money aside for her college education. I am also spending time reading books to her, and watching educational DVD's with. She listens to books on tapes as well as musical cds. I try to make sure her environment is rich in language. I constantly talk to her, and she grunts and babbles back. My goal is to teach her sign language through some baby signing videos that I borrowed from the public library. We also watch phonics DVD's, but she doesn't seem to interested in them yet. Her favorite DVD's appear to be BOZ, Veggie Tales, and Praise Baby (DVD's that I bought from the Christian Bookstore). Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Kaylynn loves to watch Barbie DVD's as well. (She gets that from her mommy who loved Barbies!) Kaylynn is the love of my life. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a wonderful, healthy baby girl who loves to listen to stories!
