More Montessori in the house

Hello Readers,

Well my big girl is now off to  Montessori school 4 1/2 days a week which now leaves just my little girl and I to do things together.

I am missing my big girl. It is a big adjustment for me (not for her) and this week I have felt a little lost with out her around all the time.

But in saying that this week I have seen my little girl take on some more independence and at 19months she buttered her rice crackers. Got the rice crackers and the butter off the shelf and a butter knife and off she went.

It never ceases to amaze me what our children are capable of when we provide the environment for them. Here are some photos.

Don't be afraid to let your kids try few things. They don't have to be perfect it at it and yes it does get a bit messy but the reward is that they are proud of themselves for being a 'big kid'. It give the something to do and it frees you up to do other things with them. Hope this inspires you.

Kimba.
