Allison Leonard, our Village Mommies play group leader, has been so incrdible in finding great activities that also teach our children at the same time. Today we took the kids to New Hope Learning Center (a daycare center for low income families) to donate some of their books to one of their classes. The idea was to discuss the blessing of giving to others in need. Her idea went even further to tie in the discussion to the wonderful gift God gave us. She also suggested that we read The Giving Tree book.
Now, I know that Morgan is a little young to grasp all of this. But, I still think that it's never too young to start on some of these values with him. So, this morning we picked out his Courdory book to give to the children. We got there and he got into a tug of war screaming, "MINE! MINE! MINE!" over a borrowed truck from sweet little Hudson. I have no idea if a seed was planted or not. Ha!
The exciting part of my day began after the New Hope Learning Center. Play date at Chick-Fil-A. Everyone knows my obsession by now. I've only been twice this month. I swear!
It is posted that all food and drinks should stay out of the play area. Of course we all brought our food and drinks in with us and quickly realized why. Morgan dumped out some of my coke, put a nugget up the slide and Sarah dumped water all over the floor. Now the kids socks were pretty gross. So, I remove Morgan's socks. That was all he needed. Yup, that gave him major traction. My little monkey climbed UP the giant winding tube slide and got into the play maze. He's going to love his birthday party at Paradise Pond!
