Today we shipped Kyalo off to school! I've signed him up for two mornings a week (8-11:30) at a little Montessori school less than a mile from my home. I like the Montessori philosophy of using natural items (wood, glass, cloth, etc) and keeping the rooms neutral so they aren't an onslaught of colors and plastic.
We got him to school, he dropped his things in his little cubby, and off he went to play. This morning we went extra early so Dexter could come and be a part of it, too. Made it special. He was off and running though. I was trying to introduce him to his teacher and he said, ' Can I go back and play?' Yeah. He'll do just fine.
I was sorry Dexter had to go out to work - a little breakfast date would have been nice.
Anyway, here are a couple of obligatory first day of school pictures I took on our steps.
when did he get so old??
We continue to have some behavior issues with him, and I'm hoping that a few hours away from me and in a structured environment helps to nip some of them in the bud. It isn't asking too much to think that the school can teach him manners, respect, direction following, obedience all in 8 hours a week? Is it??
Oh, but we love him so and are so proud of him and are excited for this new chapter in his (our) life.
