As I am sitting here waiting for Noah to wake up from his nap, I am thinking of ways to improve my Montessori blog. I would love to turn to all of you for ideas and help on how to get more followers and/or more exposure out there in the blogging world. I am not exactly a computer genius so any suggestions would be appreciated (keep in mind you may have to comment in detail how to do your suggestion to my blog).
Please comment on how I can make my blog more enjoyable or more beautiful. Thanks in advance!

Observation
I will be honest, Observation class was not my favourite in Montessori training. However, 9 years later I find myself very content sitting either beside Noah or across the room watching his every move. Right now he is trying so hard to crawl. Today I observed him moving his knees and moving only once in a crawl. It seems his knees give out and he falls onto his stomach but without prevail, he tries again. The child has perseverance! I could just sit all day long (if the hubby didn't want to eat ) and watch Noah explore and learn!
Observing has now become my favourite thing to do :)

Having fun with Montessori
It is almost time for me to go back to work at a Montessori school. At first I had mixed feelings about it. I absolutely love my job. In fact, I don't really call it work because I am loving what I do. I just do not want to leave Noah right now (or in 3 months time when the first day of school happens).
I have been thinking a lot lately about school and I am getting very excited about going back. I am looking online for different ideas for my classroom and love reading about what other teacher's are doing in their classrooms. I have come across an excellent website that I find myself looking at everyday. They have a ton of useful information and lots of fun materials to browse through. I can't wait to get out the laminater and start making new materials for my class. It is going to be a fun year for us all.
Noah and I attended my school's Family Fun day over the weekend and when the owner announced to the parents that I will be returning in September, they all cheered about my return. It was so nice to know that I am appreciated and wanted back :) One father said to me how glad and excited he was because now his son will be better behaved once I return to the classroom.
In closing, I have kept you in suspense long enough regarding the best Montessori website EVER! :) Please visit www.montessoriprintshop.com. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Montessorians ReUnite!
Yesterday was a great day!
I got together with my great friend Melissa, who I first met in our Montessori training (you have read about her before). We spent the day in Toronto with our two babies. Not only was spending time with her yesterday great fun, but it also gave me a chance to reflect on how far Mel and I have come as friends and as people since we met 10 years ago. When we first met Mel was dating her now husband, Chris, and I was still trying to find a partner. Look at us now! Both married and with kids.
Mel has two gorgeous children and I have a very cute little boy. It was so nice to spend the day together and it always brings back so many memories from years ago: reminiscing about the other people from our class, remembering how nervous we were before our final exams and laughing about all the fun times we had during our training.

It is so great to be able to talk to someone
who knows your career, can help you come
up with creative new ideas for classroom
activities, or can help with any questions and
or concerns.
Melissa and I live so far apart and are so busy
nowadays, we don’t get to see each other
often or talk every day. But each of us holds
an important part in the other’s life and
that kind of friendship is truly special.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: if
it weren’t for Montessori, I would never have
met this great friend and teacher!
Mel: it was great seeing you and Leah again
yesterday and I cherish every minute we
spend together.
Montessori for Life!!

So Sorry
Sorry everyone for the delay in blogs. Noah is keeping me very busy these days. As he is getting older, his needs increase so I have been busy with him. I apologize for the delay in new and exciting posts. But I promise, there will be more, keep checking back in periodically.
