We watched a neighbors dogs last weekend and the boys really enjoyed them.  No, I am not in the market for a pet at this time, but we will see how it goes in the future.  The boys LOVED playing with the dogs, particularly Liam.

Finn attended a kindergarten open house at the elementary school where his brothers attend.  He is so excited to begin kindergarten in September.  Due to his late summer birthday, we decided to have him start kindergarten in the fall rather than be the youngest in his class in first grade.  He has been doing kindergarten work at Montessori this year and is more than ready to move into Basswood.  The Montessori program has really prepared him for next year at the elementary school.  He has grown so much this year in his writing, counting, and even a little reading.  He is finally showing a bit more interest in learning and a little less of a concern over socializing.

When we attended the open house, he was adamant about finding out who his teacher will be even though I explained several times that he won't find out his teacher until right before school begins in September.  He found our neighbor who teaches kindergarten at the school and asked her to be his teacher next year.  She, of course, explained that she isn't really the one who makes those decisions, but Finn could talk to the principal.  And, of course, we made our way to the principal so that Finn could ask him as well about his teacher for next year!  He really has no fear whatsoever!
