Kindergarten - Day 6

This night was quite challenging, so I was not sure if we were going, but he woke up after 6, so why not.

He loves the kindergarten because they have two boxes of cars there. So when we reached the main entrance, he started his mantra "brm-brm-brm", after changing his shoes and a pee break, he ran to the playroom to play with the cars. They have so many cars there that they keep him busy for an hour without me interfering, it makes me thinking maybe I should really get him more cars but probably not because then the kindergarten would lose its magic.

This time he liked the porridge, so he ate half of the plate. But he was the same hungry at the end of our stay there as in those days he wouldn't eat anything. In the middle of breakfast, he remembered the cars and was very determined to get back to play with them. He had to wait a bit for the other children to finish their food, so while waiting, I managed to get a bit more food into him.

Another playtime with the cars before going out, he was not happy to go out without "his" cars but I managed to persuade him and he found other cars to play with outside. And he finally dared himself to take a slide there. He can walk up the stairs all by himself, then seat himself and then let go and slide on his own.

Again he was not happy to leave, but he was dead tired when we reached home.

Even though the kindergarten is not a place where I would like to leave him full-time because it has very little in common with my views on raising children, I like it there and so does he. He is learning not to be afraid of other children and get what he wants before somebody else gets it. And where else would they have so many cars? Definitely not in a Montessori kindergarten :)
