Montessori work night...

During work night at Montessori Isaac had a chance to show Karl and I around his school in which he demonstrated various "work". Isaac then did a great job serving an apple pie snack of which he desperately tried to enjoy himself.
Isaac eagerly takes his first bite but it's obviously not what he'd expected. He contemplates a bit then shouts a thank you to the teacher who'd made the snack special for us (to accommodate his food allergies.) I think this was his attempt to let her know that 'it was nice, thank you, I'm done' for he then gives Karl and the camera a look that says “we're not really going to eat this?” After realizing we are, he digs in and makes a valiant attempt to finish as quickly as possible. Then with a sheepish smile, the unfinished amount went into the trash. He cleared our dishes too!
For this special night, mommy forgot the camera but Karl showed me up nicely by producing his for the occasion. Karl, I can't thank you enough!

My kingdom for a title!

So I was having a tremendous time coming up with a title for this blog that wasn’t already taken. Who knew there were so many like minded people out there?! I started ambling into titles that really had no personal connotations at all just to find something that was available! Eventually my thoughts meandered back to why I was doing this in the first place and realized it was all about finding the time to stay connected. Well ‘findingthetime’ was taken but ‘creatingtime’ wasn’t and anyhow I’m happier with this. Mainly because you can’t always ‘find’ the time, sometimes it must be created or taken (but 'take...' was also being used).

Anyhow, I hope to make the best of this space for staying in touch with family, friends, posting info that might help someone, and/or hearing from people with similar ideas or advice (always welcomed). But mostly to gush over the little man in my life.
