To inject a bit of seriousness into the blog: after a very difficult decision-making process, Jonathan and I came to the conclusion that the kids' current school was not a good fit. So as of this week, both boys began at a Montessori school. Xander already loves it, and Ari... well, let's just say that Ari's not yet two and is having some separation anxiety, but I'm sure it will get better soon.
Below are the two posters that the kids' teachers at their old school prepared for them on their last day. Jonathan is planning on laminating each of them so we can put them up somewhere.
All the kids in his class signed it, some with more help than others. I love all the pictures!
For Ari's poster, not only are the pictures amazing, but if you click for a close-up, you can see that every teacher in the school wrote Ari a note. They're really sweet.
(Oh, and in other random kid news? Ari now has a favorite color, blue, and Xander's willing to comply with any direction in order to get to go bike riding later. Yay for determined children!)
These Farewell Posters that the teachers prepared for Xander and Ari are a beautiful tribute. The photographs are wonderful; when the boys grow up, they will have a tangible memory of what they've forgotten. Does Ari's poster have a date on it? The blue background should please him since it's his favorite color.
ReplyDeleteI commend you for what had to be a tough decision -- sending the boys to Montessori. I believe they'll have the best opportunity there to develop their potential.
Wow! You got a real handle on Xander now, with the bicycle. When he's enthusiastic there are no bounds!
What I would give to get a hug from Ari!
Sending you all my love.
Awww, those are super sweet!
