Yesterday I made it through my first full day as a student. I spent much of my time working with the pink tower. I commented to my mom that Montessori is lonely. My previous program was play-based and, because I was the most popular student in the class, everything revolved around me. At Montessori, the materials for my stage of development are designed to be worked with by one child at a time. The collaborative work will be introduced later.
We had crackers and organic pears for snack (but I skipped the pears) but I ate 11 crackers. One child, NOT ME, dropped a plate and it broke.
I put my shoes on all by myself when it was time to go home. You might notice in the photo that I have them on the wrong feet. That doesn't matter though.
I made careful note of what indoor shoes all of the other children have. Isabella wears pink shoes that have a slight squeak when she takes a step. January wears green shoes and wore a green shirt. No kids have blue shoes. My sister would have made a note of these important details too.
Below is a photo of me getting lined up for departure. As soon as I got into the car, I said to my mom, "ask me if I want to go to Starbucks." We all know the answer to that question and, sadly, I was deprived of a trip to Starbucks. We do, however, have a date for Friday. Since I am only supposed to have sweets twice a week, I need to plan my indulgences carefully.
Instead of Starbucks, we came home and had organic fruit smoothies. I am obsessed with straws this week.
And then I snored for the next four hours. I ate three sandwiches when I woke up.
Adjusting to the new routine is exhausting. My mom started steaming spinach for my scrambled eggs (delicious, by the way) at 5:30am. And the traffic is worse than dreadful.
