Cardinal on my sunflower

He came with the wife, right in front of our window!

Wife is picture-shy.

Aren't I stylish with my new fall clothes!

I'm 18 months now, my hair is too long, and some of the pictures are fuzzy...

Montessori Prepared Environment

This is what the classrooms are called in a Montessori School. There is lots of natural light, and lots of toys and items made with materials taken directly from the natural environment (lots of wood, very little plastic). I like the orderly way every item has been placed in a strategic location that is reachable by even the smallest child.

This classroom was designed with toddlers (up to 3 years) in mind. There is also another classroom that toddlers use, the drop-off location, which looks more like a gymnasium. It has pushtoys, balls, tents, mats and little gyms for climbing.

My first day at school!

Tuesday, September 5 was my first day of school! I only stayed there for the morning, but it was long enough...I didn't cry at drop-off, and I had fun, but I did cry with relief when they came to pick me up!

Mein erster Schultag war am Dienstag den 5. September. Zwar gehe ich nur morgens, aber es scheint mir lange genug...Wenn sie mich hinbringen habe ich viel zu tun, und es gefällt mir eigentlich recht gut. Wenn sie mich dann wieder abholen bin ich so erleichtert dass ich halt trotzdem weinen muss!
