We've been so lucky to have such amazing weather the past few days, the kids have taken full advantage and have been eager to get out in the sun. In the theme of getting out side and getting healthy the kids enjoyed a delicious "banana bread" snack or so they thought, they later discovered that there was a secret ingredient, cauliflower! Fueled up with healthy goodness we enjoyed a few hours at the park where the kids got physically active and were able to unleash their imaginations. We had some great swing contests to see who get as high as the trees, a rock burying game where the kids morphed into rock people and tried to cover themselves with stones, and a game of "King of the forest" where some of the kids collected branches and whoever found the longest stick was king! It's always so inspiring to see the kids being creative and showcasing their individuality, they're not afraid to be themselves, they are strong and confident. This inspiration is what makes being a leader so rewarding, encouraging and validating their individuality is my favorite aspect of being in child care. We're hopeful for more great weather next week so we can keep the kids moving outside and having healthy happy fun!
