We visited the day care center that Cianna will start attending on some weekdays next month. I had imagined that day care for a two-year-old would be simply about playing, eating, and sleeping all day, but there's a pretty structured learning environment in place. She'll practice naming colors, shapes, numbers, animals, and everyday household objects in english and spanish. She's made a a lot of progress already, but the addition of spanish will be fun to mix in with the chinese she gets from my mom.
