Last Wednesday was Tyke's first day of Montessori Preschool. He goes everyday from 11:30 to 2:30. He was really nervous but trying so hard to be excited. We went to visit Grandpa Simpson before school and he took us to lunch. Tyke was wired. I think all his nervous-ness was making him act like a crazy man. He was talking a million words a minutes, nonstop. He was cracking me up. Once we got to the school he was trying to tell me that he wanted to be in Auntie Lori's class. But Lori teaches 4th grade so that wasn't going to work. Miss Amber is his teacher this year and I told him he would really like her. When it came time to drop him off he cried. It broke my heart!! Miss Amber took him and held him. Talk about feeling like the worst mother in the world!!! Lori called me shortly after, though, and told me he quit crying the minute I left. When I told Jett this he said, "Good. He needs to toughen up and get off your hip." Men.
I just know Tyke is going to learn a lot this year and have a great experience. He is such a big boy and I love him so much.
Knocking on the door at the school...he is so CUTE!

oh so cute! I can imagine its probably tougher sending your baby off to school than it is sending your oldest...oh they grow so fast! He's such an adorable lil guy!
How fun! This is the nerd in me coming out... Montessori is named after Maria Montessori! She's in the book Reclaiming Childhood, which talks about how to help children develop in a natural and beneficial way, which is letting them be children! Ha, I told you, I'm a nerd. ;) Everything you needed to know about the name of Tyke's preschool. ;)
