Breakfast with a Friend

This past Sunday morning we had breakfast with Eliot and his mom. Eliot and Darius are best friends at the Montessori school they attend. It was a fun morning and very enjoyable to have breakfast with friends. Darius has been missing Eliot over the summer and has been anticipating the start of school so he can see his friend again. We saw them once or twice over the summer but not as much as the boys would have liked.

They played with toys and chatted together, and ate a lot. We enjoyed having an adult conversation while the boys interacted, a rare occurrence for us. Usually, when just the three of us go out to a meal we have to entertain him.

School starts next week and Darius will be a third year student in the primary class. This is the same as Kindergarten in a more traditional school. Students stay in the same class with the same teacher for three years. The primary class is 3, 4 and 5 year old kids, then they move up to the next level up for three years.

This weekend we’re off to the Washington DC area, actually a suburb in Virginia to visit one of Brian’s cousins. I’m not sure if we’re going into DC, or we may go to an amusement park in Virginia. It’s going to be a long drive and a nice end to our summer.
