The new school year is almost around the corner. My little big Pinky is just so excited to start a different experience: the transition from a traditional preschool classroom into a Montessori one. We have been so blessed to be able to cost this education for our Pinky. In preparation for the change and just because she is such a big girl (she’s very into acting like a grown up, most of the time), she have an important chore: setting up the table.
My amazing talented friend Monica made these cute and sophisticated placemats for me (I don’t know how to sew just because this dump idea that I will get my fingers caught in the needles way..lol). I wanted something useful for my teaching purposes and cute to be used for everyone. She made 4 of them in NO TIME!!! Isn’t she amazing???
I am really in LOVE with my placemats!
Back to our activity; here is my beautiful princess doing her chore:
Now I just need a beautiful dinning table 
Pinky is very serious about her job!!!
Yum!!!
Buen provecho!
