~ waldorf co-op ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The weather on Friday was perfect for our Waldorf co-op.

We're just getting back into this new rhythm,

after enjoying a busy summer.

We celebrated the birthday 

of a sweet and special little girl.

The kids always enjoy yoga before Circle.

We practiced being volcanoes,

rubbing out hands together to create heat before erupting!

All my girls loved this - Liv's face is priceless!  

After our story (Musicians of Bremen) 

and some songs (I am playing the guitar this year)

we had lunch and the afternoon to explore.

We took some of the kids up into the forest 

to build some forts and had a lot of fun playing there.

This is such a beautiful time of the year,

and amazing to see how much the children have grown since last year.

~ october intention: smile ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today, I can smile.

Tomorrow, I can smile.

It is my intention to smile often and generously,

each and every day, a real, genuine, happy smile.

When I smile, 

I will laugh.

When I laugh,

I will feel happy.

When I feel happy,

I will be happy.

Simple words, simple act.

There are complexities

behind my choosing this intention, 

but for now...

....I will just smile and feel my heart loosen a bit.

My little Liv is getting so big!

She's not even 4 years old yet

but on Thursday.....

.....she decided that she was ready.

 No more balance bike for her.

By the weekend she was getting herself going,

and today she rode all over the park.

These moments are flying by so quickly!

Just 3 years and 10 months ago 

she weighed less than a bag of flour.

Happy Tears,
