Heartbreaking moment of the day
We've had the sense that Connor has been very happy at his school and I think he is. We also figured that since he is around Jamie and his friends so much he wouldn't have too much trouble with the fact that he would be the youngest kid in the classroom, since Montessori mixes ages 3-6 at this level. Jamie has been very into show and tell lately, bringing in for instance a large number of cicada moltings he had collected (Sarah did not enjoy this) and a photobook of his trip to Cyprus. So on the way to school he was talking about this, so Sarah asked Connor if his classroom did show and tell as well. He replied, "I don't go to show and tell because I feel small." Sarah was a little speechless at first and asked if the big kids were nice to him and he said yes. Sometimes it just ain't easy being small I guess.

The little man bravely brought his "owl babies" book for show and tell today. As Connor himself would say, "I got your teensie right here. Why don't you come and get it!"
Miss Nicole, the assistant is his room, got him out of the car today and he was all over it, telling her right away it was for show and tell, so he's going to rock it.
Hurray for Connor! The bravery of children is inspiring and humbling.
