I work weird hours. I'm in retail... it's what we do. And since I'm a night person, the only "me" time I ever get is at night after everyone else has gone to bed. So, about once a week or so, I tell Jelly Bean to bring her Leapster to me after she's done playing it at bedtime. She knows what this means, and I'm usually too tired to argue, so it becomes her late night too. She can hardly wait to see what happens when I get out the USB cord and upload her progress reports.
So, there she sits, perched on the arm of the sofa, breathing down my neck while I get logged on, go through her new rewards with her and take her for a walk down the Learning Path to see what new stepping stones she's colored in, where new stars are cropping up, and what grade level she's working at. I've already talked about what a great feeling of accomplishment she has from these little sessions, but for me, they mean one more thing--a little extra Mommy/Daughter time in our busy week.
