Mary took Daddy to school one evening and showed him a few of her lessons. (Sadly, I was at home with a sick David.)
Mary working on addition ...
Mary doing a little sewing ...
(She HATES licking the yarn before threading it. "Disgusting!!")
Mary's class has been OBSESSED with geography this year. They can't get enough map-making! This is Mary making a map of Australia ...
And nothing like some good old table washing!
Then Greg rushed off to coach a soccer game. And my sweet Mary came home to me.
By the way, we decided to send Mary to her Montessori school again next year. Originally it wasn't even an option: The school is moving to a new location half an hour from our house, and Mary would be going full-day so tuition would almost double. No way!! But we slowly reconciled ourselves to the fact that it was by far the best thing for Mary and good for our family in ways too, and somehow we could make it work. So make it work we will. And I have no doubt that Mary will have another marvelous year.
