I'm very passionate about Montessori. I think it is great for certain kids. Kids like Mia who learn quickly and love to learn. I would have had trouble in a Montessori classroom. We are looking for the right place to start Mia's Montessori education so while we research we have started tying to adopt some of the Montessori philosophy at home. Being kind to each other, positive words and encouragement and real life "work". Mia loves to work/play with water so that where we started. I think she did great and this little exercise kept her busy for about 3 minutes!
Montessori Mia
"I'm not even tired!"
I picked up Mia early from school today. She is having a tough time separating from me in the mornings and it just breaks my heart. I know I can't let her "win" and not go to school so I'm trying to pick her up early when I can. She can barely stay awake during the 4 minute ride home then she forces those little eyes to stay open for one episode of Dora. I finally get her in her room for a couple books and she falling asleep on my lap. Yes, I can take a hint. Time for bed little sweetie. Sweet dreams.
On the potty training front, things are going well. Mia has asked to go to the potty once at school and I have left her diaper off at home and we have run to the bathroom a couple times. We are talking about big girl panties and she is not saying "no". (She did refuse those panties about a month ago - so thats progress!)
