Dear Dazey, you'll be fine! Having more than one kid in the mix is indeed the hard part, I find, but it is also the great part, in a lot of ways. The lads bounce ideas off each other, help each other with their work, and so on--the only things they really do separately (although I don't have to report to anybody, so that maybe changes things some) are math and language arts, and it's fun to combine for big art projects, history read-alouds, big messy science experiments, family "concerts," and stuff like that. (Yikes, this isn't really coming out in English, is it?? I'm too tired to go back and fix the prose, though...)
Can you maybe get some little sticker books or special pens or something that you only get out at "school time", so that your little one feels like she's "doing school", too? I found that finding some special thing for Chico to do really helped a lot--and the nice thing is that it really does (I promise!) get easier over time.
Cue Ethel Merman: "You'll be swell, you'll be great, you can have the whole world on a plate, starting here, starting now, everything's coming up roses.........." (I love Ethel Merman!)
