Still My Baby (or how the heart feels when the little one leaves the nest)
Our oldest son is in fourth grade at a private Montessori school. We know all the parents, all the kids, all the kids' siblings, everything there is to know. Our youngest has come with me to pick up and drop off and every school BBQ and picnic and event. He went to kindergarten with most of these kids' siblings, he plays baseball and YMCA soccer and flag football with all of them. So when he started first grade this year at the same school as big brother, I didn't even give it a thought. Old hat, I said. He was super excited when he woke up, although he kept telling me he was embarrassed because he didn't know ALL the kids. Coming from Keep Reading

Tips and tricks to help your child pack their own school lunch (and not die of frustration)
Our oldest son is in his second year at a Montessori school that fosters and preaches and attempts to ingrain independence (as all Montessori programs do). I packed his lunch for him every day last year, even though his teacher suggested that he do it himself. I just couldn’t do it. I had no system in place. He is the slowest slowpoke on the planet. How would he know what to pack? Would I end up doing it for him anyway? Would he pack 4 bananas and a piece of cheese? Would I be nagging him all morning every day of my life? See, I’m a bit of a control freak. And he’s a bit of a fly by the seat of his pants kid who couldn’t care less when and if Keep Reading
