Today was our first Parent's Observation Day at Iloilo Montessori International School.
What a treat to see Dani interact with her teachers and classmates. The little girl sitting next to her in the picture was her classmate in summer school and has nlw become her best friend. Her name is Iya and she is such a mild mannered and proper little lady.
Today they learned new songs to dance to. New stories and named the differeny rooms in the house.
What really tugged my heartstrings was when Miss Michelle asked the class what room mommy cooks. Dani was answering on several occassions that mommy is found in the kitchen.
It really got to me that the times wheein Dani would see me cook would actually have a profound impact on her. Without a second thought, she knows mommy cooks in the kitchen.
So it may be little cookies, banana cakes, entrees or whatever suits my fancy, she loves watching me work. Even if its just juicing her face lights up with wonder. She ends up carrying that memory and wonder with her.
Its these moments that mold a child. Even in the times where we easily take for granted. I never saw my mom in the kitchen. I've always dreamed of preparing the kids' snacks/meals for school. So it impacts her as much as it impacts me. In this moment, my world is wonderful.
Who knew that saying, "Mommy cooks in the kitchen" would mean so much to me. I almost teared up!
