summer



Just some pics from a super hot, but satisfying trip to our neighbor’s garden. Rowan got a new pair of scissors and eagerly cuts flowers and mint. His vocabulary has grown to include words like calendula and fennel. Our basket is filled with eggs that he helps gather straight from the chickens’ coop. Sometimes when we get home, I make a toad in the hole for his dinner with the eggs he collected. He knows that eggs come from chickens and not the refrigerator section at Stop n’ Shop. Sometimes I wonder if I should forget preschool, and just set him free in a vegetable garden each morning. The significance of the life lessons that he is picking up here has not been lost on me. I suspect that these lessons are going to do him more good than his abc’s.

    look at much he is growing! so cute. i skipped pre-school for my twins and i am actually keeping them home for one more year for kindergarten (they will just barely be 5 when school starts this year). for one to send both to a pre-school that i felt would be worth sending them to, would be out of my price range for two tots. and i agree, the lessons they get from being in the world, in nature, with mom are something far more important than abc's. it's not like they won't learn those inevitably, you know?
