Preschool!!!

It's been over a month now, but Lance started preschool at Malamalama Waldorf School back in October and he loves it.  Lance was SO excited to start school and greets each school day with the same gusto he had on the first one.  He's making buddies and has officially ditched his nap on school days.  It's been a learning process for Stef and I as we adjust to letting go of some of our parental control and trust that yes, he is in good hands even if they aren't our hands, and giggle privately at some of the eccentricities that come along with a Waldorf school in the middle of Puna.  All in all, Lance is in a beautiful setting where the kids sit around a big square table at mealtimes with real glasses, silverware, cloth napkins, and flowers on the table, play in an amazing play yard and classroom, create some seriously beautiful pieces of art, and get to be kids all day every day.  More to come on the preschool experience, I'm sure!
