The autumn season is fully underway and most clearly felt in the morning.
The sky might seem dark and depressing even beyond daybreak.
The cloudy weather of today accentuates this depressing attitude.
Hopefully, we can enjoy some outdoor time this afternoon.
Due to fall break, many parents are at home, making my workplace unusually quiet.
I only have four children under my care today, hence I can offer each one of them my whole attention.
Although I appreciated this chance, there were times when I felt overburdened.
For instance, a two-year-old tried to climb on a table while a baby was being fed.
Your reflexes are quite remarkable in how fast they can start to stop an accident.
The chance to feed newborns is one feature of my new work that I really enjoy.
It is unimaginable to hold such a small human being.
The slightly older children in my care today are engrossed in playing with the wooden train track.
We try to reduce screen time and promote real-world play to boost every sphere of growth.
Our daily schedule depends on outdoor play in great part.
Following the Scandinavian proverb
"There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes,"
we attempt to get outside even in terrible conditions.
I decided this afternoon to take the kids outside and gather the dropped leaves on the playground.
Two "helpful" sweepers joined me, spreading the leaves all over the square and jumping through them with delight.
I couldn't deny them this fun, and the outdoor activity was a great way for me to get some exercise as well.
Wishing you all the best in life and much health.
