first day
I cried when I was packing his morning tea and marking his name on his lunch box and hat but I managed to smile when he kissed Daniel and I good bye. He tried to give us a hug at the same time but his arms didn’t reach. He told us he loved us and then he ran off into the room that is made for his size. His world.
Daniel and I drove away feeling so content that Che will be spending time at Montessori each week. It feels like an extension of our home. The way the teachers respect the children is inspiring – they are treated like capable, intelligent human beings and nurtured with the love and care that an elder should always express to a child.
When we walked passed the vegie gardens and scarecrows and through the gate to collect him he came running out with his first painting. He was happy. And that means everything to us.

oh my, he is just gorgeous! enjoy the beautiful art work and the new special friends he will make.
Wow.. what a big day. What a gorgeous boy!
I had the same feelings when Annie started Montessori last year. I was so happy for her, but also crying inside. I had a really good cry in the car on the way home. She has blossomed into an amazing little girl in just the one year of going. I'm sure that Che is going to have an amazing experience.

Oh, he looks so beautiful and grown up in this shot. I think a Mamas tears are normal on special days like this. The start of a new adventure.
