Mondays with Margot: A Violinist and a Drummer

Fall Colours

We went to Mont Sainte-Marie ski resort for the Festival of Fall Colours:

We went up the chairlift:

Enjoyed the view at the top:

 and walked down a slope/hill:

Apparently, the best colours were a week ago (before we got rain and wind), but we were still able to enjoy the colours and the trees:

and we met a little chipmunk getting ready for the winter...

Running Like A Child

There is such freedom and spontaneity in a child's run.
The action comes from the heart, not the head.

Running makes for blurry and imperfect pictures, which capture the true essence of childhood.

  

Montessori - part 1

Since starting preschool, I have noticed the following behaviour in Margot:

-no more "accidents" at home.

-generally in a fabulous mood.

-likes to roll up little blankets.

-wants to help out more.

-washes her hands frequently.

-often counts (not always in order).

-much more concentrated on a task.

-sometimes mentions that her name is "Margot avec un "T"" [Margot with a "T"].  (That's because there's another Margot in her class, without a T. I know! What are the odds?]
-sings a lot.
-likes to "write".
-loves using scissors and tape.

Fun!
