Austin at Mountain School

I don't even know where to begin. You are so in love with your school. You run up the hill as fast as you can when we get there. You are so eager and so excited to see what Teacher Jane and Sarah have in store for you. 

You first go check out whatever task they are doing, as we are there early. I need to bring supplies each week, so we go about 15min early. You help your teachers set up and prepare the activities. Whatever it is, you want to help!

Next you get busy playing. Usually the trains inside first. You build a track and then it turns into firetruck game. 

Next you go out to explore. The zip line is next along with trying to catch a chicken. We are never really successful as they are young and fast!

Next you re off to play in the sandbox. You get busy with your buddy Milo and Finn, and you both push dump trucks around and deliver dirt and sand everywhere. You LOVE that sandbox!

Next you head in for cooking. Today YOU were the cooking boy! Oh how exciting! We did cookie cutter bread. You made a ton of train shapes and then ate most of them. :)

You got to ring the bell to gather everyone for snack. Then when we sang "Who's mom is the cooking mom!" you yelled "ME ME! ME Mommy!!!" You were thrilled to say this. 

After snack you insisted on doing the dishes. You pulled up a stool and did every single dish! Such a helper. You didn't stop until they were all done!

Next it was circle time and story time. You mostly played with the trains then. 

Next it was outside to run with the rainbows! You LOVE this and are the FIRST one down that hill. You run across the field and are laughing in excitement. You head for the redwood trees to do your "tree jumps." Teacher Sarah stands on the tall side and you guys each take a turn jumping down...you don't need any help, and jump so high!

Lastly we have our picnic lunch all together in the field, and we sing goodbye songs. You guys do ring around the rosie with your teachers and you ask over and over to do it more. They are so in love with you. They do it over and over. It melts my heart to see how much they love you. 

I love you SO much Austin and I am SO SO SO thankful for this experience with you!
