Me: Why is that?
Sam: Because I have super powers
Me: You're right, I am lucky.
Sam: I have to go get on the roof now, check the perminiter.
Me: uhhh, baby that's dangerous.
Sam: I have super powers, can't get hurt. It's a real thing.
Me: ummm, the...roof...has a hole in it.
Sam: I'll fix it.
Me (fuck) um, actually I hurt my foot really bad, can you fix it with your first aid kit? (he carries one at all times, not kidding)
Sam: (sigh) I guess, get that big thing over here.

I may have overreacted
School is...Fantastic, amazing, a break, a breather, growth, learning, friends, laughter, change..good change.
My son has changed so much, learned so much and become so confident since starting school. I fully FULLY believe this is mostly due to the Montessori method. It is too much to explain...and I don't care to..but basically Montessori focuses on being independent and nurturing a passion for learning, where as traditional schooling focuses on socialization. At Montessori the child chooses what they want to learn, they aren't held back if other students aren't ready, they each go at their own pace and can take whatever approach they feel inspired by to solve a problem. They don't have desks, or grades, or tests. They each learn a task until they master it, and the teacher decides when that is. It is very inspirational and perfect for my inquisitive and somewhat crazy son. Sam started on basic multiplication his week before Christmas. in kindergarten. Were the other kids? No, but Sam was ready..so they let him work on it. Amazing. I love this school so much I want to move into the basement and sustain myself on blocks and sink water.
Good to be back
Looking forward to making you laugh
God knows I need it.
