How is this even possible! Nathan started Preschool today!!!

When Nathan and I drive in the car, he asks me a lot of driving questions, we talk about the names of the roads, merge lanes, overpasses on the highway, he tells me the speed limits, left turn signals, the cars driving in the opposite direction, and lefts and rights.  So really before I know it he's going to be driving!! Ack!!!  Brian's grandma used to tell him she was going to put a brick on his head so he would stop growing so fast, so now we tease Nathan the same way, because really he can't grow anymore!!! I love this age, I mean look at that face!! Ack!!!! again!!

I love the school that Nathan is going to, and I have every confidence Nathan will do wonderful and love every second, my biggest fear, which is totally silly, is when he needs to do number 2 :) He takes off everything, shoes, pants, underwear.  Lets just say I hope he doesn't sit in anything wet when he puts everything back on! Sharing the bathroom with other children aged two and half to six years...Ha!! I guess he'll learn. 

My friend Melissa steered us towards this school, which is a Montessori school.  When we first visited the school, I loved the idea of students learning concepts from working with materials, rather than by direct instruction. Brian and I were able to do just that during a "Silent Journey" that we participated in.  I really felt at home then and now that we are enrolled we see how much of a little community it really is.  Today Nathan brought birdseed for the class and next week he will bring in veggies for the class to prepare.  They have chickens and gardens that the children help take care of, and so many other great practical and environmental lessons.  it's really wonderful and so exciting!! I can't wait for him to come home and tell me all about his day!! 

p.s. I have gotten completely behind on my posts so this weekend be prepared because I am going to blog you to death! I have had so many wonderful photo shoots since June that I still need to share, plus an update on Jacob!
