It is officially the fall, yet I think fall actually did not get the memo that it is here. It has been in the 90s every single day. Definitely not fall-like. Maybe if I change the backgrounds on my blog, the weather will get the hint :)~

ABCs...123s
Aftan has only been back in school for three weeks now and she is doing amazingly. She is starting to read a little and spell a little. I am pretty sure watching her learn to read and write has been one of my favorite mommy moments. She really enjoys it. She tries to read everything. She is also able to count out objects and write the numbers next to the object. I am just in awe of the Montessori method and am fully confident we made the right choice in this type of school. It is incredibly draining financially, but it is SOOO worth it. I'd rather be poor my entire life and give her this opportunity. She is excited to go to school every day and she learns something new every day, as well.

Summer Days to School Days
Well, the summer went by amazingly fast. We had a pretty lazy summer scattered w/ three weeks of summer camp for Aftan at her school. Aftan started back to school this past Monday. She has a teacher that is new to teaching and new to Montessori. She is really good with Aftan and seems to really understand her. I think Aftan is the teacher's pet. :) There are only 9 kids in Aftan's class, and I think the small class size is working well for her. She is excited to go to school everyday and she has already learned so much in the first week. We have had some minor glitches w/ naptime, but I hope we will get them straightened out soon.
I am trying to enjoy these last few months having Reagan here at home with me. In January, I will be seeking a job outside of the home to make more money and she will have to go to school. I would be lying if I said I am comfortable with this, I just don't think she is quite ready, but we have to do what we have to do. Maybe she will surprise me and do really well.
But, overall I think the kids had a good summer, and we are looking forward to seeing what the school year brings.
