Happy Father's Day!

In June each year , the children at Family Montessori make small gifts for the Dads in their lives. This year, the project was a lovely beaded key ring:

Most of the children chose to bead "DAD" but Gwendolyn felt a more personalized touch was necessary. Needless to say, Daddy LOVES it and has already put it to good use caring for his keys.

There was also a hand drawn card with the gift:

Daddy, with beard and glasses and favourite brown shoes, is standing next to Gwendolyn, who is on stilts and wearing one of Mama's dresses. Simply terrific.

Today was a quiet day on account of Gwendolyn having an upset tummy for most of the morning. She and Daddy did get out for a walk to the park and along the seawall -- after stopping for a toasted bagel and cream cheese, of course:

Best wishes to all the fathers out there.
