Max back in Montessori

On Monday Max started summer camp at Montessori Children's House... returning to the style he enjoyed at his first pre-pre-school, Little Wonders.

Anna took him on Monday, and he seemed to really like it. The first day is usually easy... it hasn't set in yet that he'll be going here *every* day. But it was really fun to watch what he did when he got back home.

He spent the next hour or so in front of his train table, which he hasn't used much lately, re-enacting his day with the trains: he projected himself onto a lesser known Thomas Train called "Madge." Madge was new to the track, so the other trains helped Madge find a cubby to keep her stuff, and they showed her around. Madge really liked the new track, since there was so much to see, and the other trains really liked showing her around. He was being very gentle with all of the trains, and it made us feel very good about his initial take on the school. We'll see how long it takes before he starts smashing the trains together again...
