At times it feels as though our weeks get so full we are just going from one activity to the next, so for the new year my goal was for us to slow down. Willem keeps teaching me this lesson because when the day goes at his pace, he is much happier and more content. He loves playing with his friends but he's more content when he spends most afternoons at home with Ellie and I. A couple days a week we get home from school now, make snacks and go straight to the backyard to play. Those are our best afternoons it seems. We get to take in the fresh air, jump on the trampoline or paint the playhouse and then we all go in for a good rest.
Willem's friend David added popsicles into our rotation of snacks--another new family favorite. A popsicle can brighten the whole afternoon for Willem. He thinks they are pretty awesome.
