Montessori Children's Garden just plain does it right. What a special experience they gave our kids tonight, in perfect weather, sitting in their kid-sized chairs on the lawn. Each of the twelve graduates were talked about in detail, with their teachers telling all the guests what makes each one of them so special. Then, the kids got a chance to speak as well, telling us all their favorites about school at MCG. I cannot express how much I love this school and the amazing staff members who grace its halls.
Finn and his "A" last name were up first and Miss Teresa talked about how his excitement for school has grown so much over the last two years and how creative he is. Then she ended, with Finn's permission, with a story about his most recent Mother's Day letter to me. Really, let's allow the letter to speak for itself.
As you might have guessed, Finn's "ferret" comparison was a killer and we all laughed out loud. Never in my life would I have thought my son would find me similar to a rodent that requires de-skunking, but hey, I'll wear it with pride because I'm sure he means it in the nicest possible six-year-old way. After graduation, a few moms that I didn't know even asked, "Are you the Ferret Mom?"
"Yes, yes I am," I proudly replied. What a hoot this kid is!
So here are some pictures of our little graduate, who was blessed enough to have a crowd there in his honor to cheer him on, and to whom, I know, only great things will come! Love you like crazy little dude!
Check out last year's Mother's Day Letter - he's growing up!!

First of all, have a great weekend. I think you're much prettier than a ferret, but that is a priceless memory to carry forward.
Congratulations to you and to Finn.
