Terrie came with me to pick Wendy up from Nursery school yesterday. Wendy was having great fun jumping in the puddles and climbing on benches. To distract her from the puddles, we showed her the sea. She couldn't get over it - it was the biggest puddle she had ever seen! Oh Wow!! And she was trying to climb under the fence to get to it, so perhaps it wasn't a brilliant idea, really. I had fun teaching her to walk on a low wall. She was a bit apprehensive but within seconds had decided it was great fun. Of course, I was holding her so she wouldn't fall, but she took to it and made me walk up and down the length of the wall with her.
Its great when Terrie comes with me to pick Woo up because Terrie is very athletic and can keep up with her. Wendy is a child who needs to run outside every day no matter what the weather is doing. She loves Terrie and she loves the exercise, but she gets Terrie and I completely wiped out. Its worth it though, to see the fun and joy she has from seeing new things. She was climbing on benches and jumping into puddles very merrily. It is great seeing the wonder of new discoveries on her face as she explores her world. She delights in being alive and it is inspiring and heartwarming to see, God bless her!
