Milestones

I have always enjoyed watching my children grow and change. Sean hit some milestones in June. He lost his two top front teeth, is transitioning from Primary class at his Montessori school, and learned (still getting the hang of it though) how to ride his bicycle.

He also suddenly changed his stance on being photographed. I have spent the last two years struggling to get pictures of him.

Here are a few to mark some moments. Still no open mouth smiles to show the missing teeth, but I hope to get one soon.

There were four children in his classroom who will be moving on to first grade. Two of his teachers took turns saying positive things about each child, relating their favorite activities and things to work on in the classroom. There were three Primary classrooms, and each had about 4-6 students transitioning.

Great cake. Wish I had seen it before it was cut. We celebrated the students advancing to first, fourth, and seventh grades. One student will be a sophomore next year and will attend Tacoma School of the Arts. He has been at Harbor Montessori School since he was 3 years old!

Best buddies. Sean and Max have been in the same class for three years. Montessori students typically spend three years with the same teacher/teachers (HMS Primary rooms have 3), in the same room working on materials individually at their own pace.

Last year he wouldn't even try this. One day about a week or two ago he decided it was time to learn to ride his two wheeled bike. He didn't want any help. Look, both feet on the pedals!!
