The Autumn Breeze..

There's a chill in the evening air, and I know that Prince Autumn is on his way....

This Friday is our end-of-Summer playschool puppet show, and preparations are under way.

My lovely helper, Miss H. is constructing a fisherman's net from jute...

Stay tuned for photos, storyline, and possibly a video...

The Autumn breezes are about to sweep my eldest playschool girl away to her first day of half day kindergarten next week. She'll be 6 in about 2 weeks, and I think that the decision to keep her home until now was a very, very wise one. She would have been a shining star in her classroom the year before, no doubt, but the mindset and skills she displays now are tell tale of kindergarten readiness. I'll still be with her for the morning hours, but I will so miss her presence during the afternoon. I've seen such a change in her the past few weeks. She's not the same girl who came to us back in March!  Her kindness flows like a brook every day as she shows such beautiful patience and love for my little boy...

There is much to look forward to, however, as we welcome 4 new children to playschool in the next 2 weeks with an extra day added to our schedule. I have some planning and decision making to do as I am now met with some interesting and promising propositions to bring in more income and obtain some great experience. My frame of mind always remains..."What can I do to afford Waldorf teacher training next Summer?"

The most rewarding part of my week so far, above anything else?

(And I am thinking it will get better and better?)
