You can take the child away from Montessori,

but you can’t take the Montessori out of the child.

Kylee spent my entire shower and getting ready period today dusting the heat vent and window ledge with a kleenex.

On her hands and knees, no less.

Lest anyone think that I scrub anything on my hands and knees, I think it was simply the surface closest to her height. It did remind me, however, that daily life around the home is one continual practical life lesson for a toddler.
