Remember how Adam and I got to go to Calli's Montessori school for the day so she could show us all the activities that she was learning? Well, Marin had one of those days 2 weeks ago and I got to go see how she's doing and what she is learning. It sure was different seeing Marin in that environment and having her show me how she can build things...
...and sort things into numbered piles...
...and write letters in the cornmeal tray.
She was her usual funny self...
...and when she produced her list of things to "show" me, she did just that!! She showed me the activity without a demonstration!! I had to explain to her that I was there to actually see how she does her work.
Here she is showing me the number rods. Look how hard she is concentrating!
We are pretty proud of our little girl and all the things she has accomplished so far this year! She is really coming out of her shell and becoming more confident in herself and it shows!
The following are the answers Marin gave to her "interrogation" interview!!
Remember these are the words right out of her mouth. She was extremely squirmy while we were doing the interview, so I'm amazed any answers came out of her at all!

It's so funny- to me, you're still Bean... silly, adventurous, crafty... but to them, you just make supper, breakfast and go to the grocery store. You're such a mom! I love Calli's #20. That's how I know you love me too.
