Week 8

Another mosaic for the Six One Way flickr group. There has been a couple of exciting things happening around here:
The first use of the "potty" by the little one. Completely her own idea after getting up from her nap one day. So we ordered her first pairs of "unders" and have been experimenting with potty training taking her lead. Quite thrilling to think about not having to wash cloth diapers!
And there is some construction going on in the house. Very noisy construction, I might add. Stephen is expanding the loft (which at its current size, is not much use to us), so there is hammering, sawing, banging, and plenty of sawdust around here.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful, thoughtful, and encouraging comments yesterday. I really do appreciate them. I wish I could respond to each, but with my newly limited computer time, I will just have to saw "thank you" to everyone. I read what each of you had to say and found all the comments to be so helpful and heartfelt.  I feel deeply honored that there are many people who take time out of their days to stop in and read what's going on in our lives. I will keep you updated on the Waldorf preschool progress and parenting in general in the coming months.

So i am a day late in reading your post about Waldorf and parenting, but I wanted to say thanks. It was an inspiring little post, and believe it or not I couldn't believe it was over when it was, I wanted to hear more, I wanted to hear your experiences and learnings even more, almost as though I just wanted to sit with you and soak it all in, I don't have children yet, but everything you said has rung with me in a great way. I am of course bummed you won't be on as much, but I hope to still see daily/weekly thoughts from you on learning through living, thanks!!
