boys .... are just boys!

Ever since reading the book

Mommy, Teach Me

I've been mildly interested in Montessori.

I certainly don't agree with all the philosophies,

but I think there is some merit in the methods Montessori teaches.

It also seems (to me) to be a more girly thing.

Now, my boys love scooping the laundry soap

but

that activity has a purpose.

I don't really think they'd enjoy

scooping rice from one container to another

for no good reason.

Even so,

I've kept my mind open

and am on the lookout for inexpensive preschool activities

that would be in line with some of the Montessori methods.

Today,

I found a dozen cute turtles for a buck twenty-nine.

So I bought two sets;

an inexpensive matching game

which lasted all of 5 minutes

when they went from

'Matching Turtles'
to

'Fighting Ninja Turtles' which just goes to show ya

boys will be boys!
