He would set up a bunch of his stuffed animals in front of the easel and then he would stand there and teach them all he had learned. It was such a brilliant way for me to see what he had learned and what we needed to revisit the next week. I was sad when he grew out of that stage but what you're doing is lovely and brilliant! Keep it up, Mama! Play school as long as you can!
