Kai has been attending Sunny Hollow Montessori School, just over the river in St. Paul, about 5 minutes from our house. He has really been enjoying school-- it has been a transition for him, but it's incredible how much he has learned (and how much we are learning too!)
I am amazed when he sings a song about the continents or tells me how to squeeze oranges to make juice or how to build a pink tower and roll up his mat.
His teachers inform us that he is the most extroverted child in the class (hmm...who does he get that from?) and that he has a pretty advanced understanding of social order and grouping. It seems we have a social butterfly.
On his birthday, we were invited into the classroom for a birthday ritual (they light a candle, the parents tell special events from each year of their life while they walk in a circle around the children holding a globe). We then got about 45 minutes of time, just us, in the classroom and Kai got to show us all of his "work." He was so proud (and so were we!)
