first field trip.

I mentioned in my last post forever ago how we enrolled N in a Montessori preschool program this year. It's been a learning curve for him to have less handholding/instruction and more input on how he structures his day, but he is slowly growing into it. This week, N went on his first field trip! The class loaded up on their tiny little bus and spent the day at Ticonderoga Farms.

We actually took Nate there last year with some friends and had a blast! I really liked that it was less crowded than some other farm/fall/pumpkin patches that are in our area. N actually remembered going there last year, too, which was pretty neat. We're finally entering the age where long term memory is a real thing :)

I'm not sure about everything that they did during this visit. Nate mentioned the hayride, the slides, the big pillow, and the pumpkin patch -- and then asked me why he didn't get to wear his Halloween costume. I think he's trying to smush all of the good things about fall into one afternoon.  He also showed me the little pumpkin that he brought home and asked, "Do you think you could make me a pumpkin pie?" Hilarious.

This kid...
