Man, that's some cold mud!
My kids love their day care. I can tell by the way they act when I drop them off, the way they act when I pick them up and the stories they (and their teachers) tell me about their antics during the day.
Yesterday Xander’s class had a “boat race”. With some leftover Styrofoam they spent the previous day crafting and painting sail boats. On Thursday their teacher filled a radio flyer wagon with water on the play ground and the “raced” the boats from one end to another. Two at a time, using only their breath to push the sails. How cute is that?
Of course, 3 and 4 year olds can’t be satisfied with just water when there is the potential to make mud so it wasn’t long before handfuls of sand landed in the wagon and the boat race quickly deteriorated to mud pies. The kids in the class all did a pretty good job of keeping the mud in the wagon and not on themselves. Parker though? Parker wasn’t satisfied with just rolling mud in his hands. Oh no. He managed to climb IN TO the wagon to SIT in the mud. Yep, that’s my son…
