Montessori Education at Work

The other day Sean asked to help me vacuum.  I discovered that is not a chore that lends itself to helping hands.  Either you do it or you don't---its really hard to "help" vacuuming.  So, a few days later when he asked to help again, I found this smaller sized vacuum in the garage and let him have a go at it himself.  He loved it.  Practical "work" learning.  I love it.

In underpants...even better.

After the carpet was clean he asked how the vacuum worked....

And spent a good 10-15 minutes like this.

Michael thinks he might become a tinkerer--like dad. So cute! Also love James's matching sweatsuit.
