The Show Must Go On!!!!

Shortly after her first birthday, Camdyn started attending "school" three mornings per week.....while this was a hard transition for both mother and daughter, we have begun to make our peace with our new situation.
Mom is excited because class is located in the same building as her work, the teacher is very into encouraging creativity through natural toys and child-centered exploration and Camdyn is getting to socialize with three other children her own age. Not to mention, the few hours alone each week has been a pivotal factor in actually accomplishing work! 8)
While mom's motives for loving "school" are quite different than Camdyn's, our little monkey has definitely found a reason of her own to get ready each morning......the beautiful, handmade Puppet Stage!
According to Camdyn's teacher, she spends the whole of each day (minus snack time of course), standing behind the puppet stage putting on "shows" for all the children. Usually consisting of banging a puppet against the deck of the stage and screaming or "singing," today's show involved a great deal of plastic utensils that she had found in a closet. As you can tell from the smile on her face, the theme of the performance doesn't seem to matter, someone is just happy to take center stage!
