Preschool Update

We’re about six weeks into the school year here and Ben couldn’t be happier in his new Montessori school. He is so calm and comfortable there and he absolutely loves it. I’m blown away by some of the things he is doing and learning about there. He is picking up so many life skills and …

Another Preschool Update

Since this is his first drop-off experience we decided to start small with two mornings per week and we’re toying with the idea of increasing that to four, …

And just like that, we sent Ben off for his first day of preschool today! Ben will be attending a Spanish immersion preschool two mornings a week this school year.

Ben’s First Day of “Preschool”

Ben had his first day of “preschool” this past week. As a way to get him more time with other kids his age and to get him out of the house we signed him up for a cooperative preschool near our house. He’ll go to school twice a week for the whole school year. A …
