Learning celebration + grace in small things, April 20, 2017
I'm a day late with these pics but the kids have little "Learning Celebrations" at school occasionally and they (celebrations) are so cute! I love their preschool so much. Yesterday they did a little song where they went from being seeds to growing into a tree, and then each kid read a little book they'd written and illustrated. Kids are so proud to show their moms and dads what they've been learning and doing...
Anyway, here are some nice things that happened today:
- Slept 'til 7 AM this morning...been waking up super early (between 4 and 5 AM) which has its good and bad points...I definitely need some more sleep though...the other day my husband asked if I had black eyes--had I maybe hit my head snoboarding?--because of the dark circles :(
- Loving getting a daily dose of pictures from my Dad on the Camino...
- Needed help with the kids to make it to an important conference call on time today and a sweet friend of mine was happy to lend a hand...loving the community I'm building in Steamboat...
- Zo not wanting me to work after preschool and so grateful that I can snuggle her on the couch and talk and read to her the rare times that happens and just delay getting to work (aka going into the bedroom). So grateful I can make it all about them and still work some, too. This setup is really ideal for a mom of young kids, even though I very often feel "fractured and frazzled," as my husband and I deemed it last night discussing things on the porch...
- Jenga with the kids and Daddy tonight...love playing games together...
