I'm kinda liking this Montessori thing....

Grayson began attending a Montessori program in August. Last Thursday, we were watching an episode of Survivor and I pointed out the elephants that were on the show to Jamison and Grayson. Grayson responds, "Elephants live in Africa." Not sure I heard him right, I ask him to repeat what he just said and he again says that elephants live in Africa. I ask him what else he knows about Africa and he tells me that Africa is far away, across the ocean, and that you have to take an airplane to get there. I am very impressed by this point and I ask him if he knows any other continents. He spouts off Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Keep in mind that he just turned 3 in August! I asked him if he knew which continent we lived on and his reply was, "The yellow one." I guess North America is yellow on their map!

Fall is here!

Fall is in the air and with it comes all of the fall festivities. Last Sunday, we took a family fun trip to the corn field mazes with some family friends and today we ventured out again to go to the Pumpkin Patch. As usual, Grayson was way too busy having fun to have his picture taken, but we did manage to trick him into a couple of good ones! Always the cover girl, Jamison was more than happy to have her photo taken again, and again, and again....





Enid is always living up to the small town expectation of running into someone you know everywhere you go. Today, we saw one of Jamison's good friends, Emme, at the Pumpkin Patch. Emme is also one of my first grade students this year. I call these two my 1st grade fairies because they are the smallest two in their class. I love this pic, so I had to post it.
