School the Old School Way

Kara & Hannah
Kara and me at our first Montessori preschool. Probably 1983 ~ three years into our friendship!

I dug up this picture from my own Montessori days and I absolutely love everything about it. That’s me washing out the bucket, so focused. And right next to me? Well, that’s Kara. She’s probably waiting for me to finish up washing or maybe she’s ‘helping’ me.  Who knows. I love this picture because Kara and I grew up to be the best of friends, she was the maid of honor in my wedding and we itneract like sisters, touching base about the little and big things that happen in our lives. 

I doubt we’ll still be in this community when our girls are grown, but that doesn’t mean that Maggie isn’t making friends at preschool that will last her a lifetime.

I also doubt that Maggie has found the diswashing station at her school yet, because when she does, she’ll have focus just like her mama did!

(And for those of you wondering where Maggie gets her curls, apparently my hair wasn’t nearly as curly as I thought. Neither was this guy’s:)
