Montessori
Thank you to everyone who offered opinions, suggestions, connections & endorsements related to Montessori education. I completely appreciate the support!
And, in this particular case, I’m already completely convinced. I’m actually a product of early-childhood Montessori education myself. And not to toot my own horn too much, I think I got alot out of […]

Ejukation
We interviewed another child care possibility today. They’re a montessori school, they take infants as young as 6 weeks, and they’re 5 minutes from our house.

The Structural Conversation of Being Pregnant

Little Blog Amusements
I’ve just added my dear friend Somewhere Bean to the blogroll, now that I know she blogs. You may recognize her as Reno Rhetorician from the comments.
