Dear Laney,
There's a lot to like about your montessori preschool. For starters, they really stress table manners. Before you guys eat lunch, you all sit down at the table together and sing this ditty, to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It":
Put your napkin in your lap, in your lap.
Put your napkin in your lap, in your lap.
Put your napkin in your lap. Put your napkin in your lap.
Put your napkin in your lap, in your lap.
Then, your teacher says, "Bon Appetit! Now you may eat!"
I've never had lunch at your school, but I know this is what happens, because you make us recreate it at home before every meal, with you playing the role of the teacher. Your dad and I haven't had a hot meal in months.
They're teaching you all sorts of fun subject matter and concepts that would never occur to me to share with you, and sometimes the information comes a little too fast and furious, which results in amazing conversations like this one we had in the car yesterday:
Laney: Mom?
Mom: Yes?
Laney: Mom? Mom!
Mom: Yes, Laney, what?
Laney: We live on Earth.
Mom: Wow, Laney. That's exactly right!
Laney: So, if there are other people out there, they must live on other planets.
Mom: Well...yeah...I guess that could be true.
Laney: Like South America.
Mom: Mmm, no. But you had me 'til then.
Nanu-nanu, amigos,
Love,
Mom
