‘Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.’ – Fred Rogers
Olivia is the one who loves to dress up, dance, and sing songs to herself. A sugar cube of sweetness, I asked her if she was a dolly and her eyes twinkled asking me to help her dress up and to dance.
Today, she said her friend wore a headband to school—though she didn’t know the word for it, so she described it as a ribbon with flowers. I suggested a big bow. We headed to my studio (a visual word for creativity as mine is a mess,) where I found a ribbon and some misshaped fake flowers. But, my first attempt was not to her liking, she threw a little fit, (how dare I misunderstand!) one flower wasn’t enough!
“Oh oh oh I see you want a bouquet!”
And just like that, a little party began.
I pray this never ends ❤️
