Happy Memorial Day to all our MSFM families 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

The children and staff 😜 had a fun spirt week which ended in a wonderful celebration for all our MSFM mums 🥰 Happy Mothers Day to all.

"In teaching we plant the seeds of knowledge, but it is the children that make them bloom."- Maria Montessori.

"The days pass slowly, but the years fly by". That's how I felt after reading the post below that I came accross.

6 things kids do only for a while... and then disappear forever 😞

1. One day they stop running to you as soon as they wake up.
That sound of little feet in the hallway, the hug in bed... gradually it gives way to silence and the closed bedroom door.

2. They stop saying: "Mommy, Daddy, look!"
They no longer run to show you every little pebble or drawing.
Little by little, their world becomes quieter... and more their own.

3. One day they stop holding your hand while walking.
And suddenly you feel the emptiness.
Not because the love is gone... but because they are growing.

4. One day they stop falling asleep in your arms.
That support on your shoulder, the breath calming down...
are moments that, without warning, come to an end.

5. At some point, they stop believing that your kiss fixes everything.
Before, a Band-Aid was enough.
Afterward, the deeper wounds start to hide in music and silence... no longer in your arms.

6. They stop bringing you their "treasures".
Leaves, papers, little discoveries.
That pure and spontaneous love... simply fades.

Childhood isn't a rehearsal. It happens now, and while they still ask for cuddles and call for you all day long, cherish every moment. ❤️
