20 month old Sully was riding a little bike when he tipped over and was having trouble getting back up.  Knowing he wasn't hurt, I looked at his friends and said, "Oh no, Sully crashed.  Is he okay?  Does Sully need help?"
20 month old Soren, and 25 month old Rory ran to his aid!
Rory took Sully by the arm to help him stand, while Soren picked up the bike and held it out to Sully.
As soon as Sully was back on his bike, Rory ran back to the path and Soren ran back to his bike and the three children continued their play.
Do we give children enough credit for being capable and empathic?  I love testing these questions and experimenting with their grasp of language, by seeing how they respond to statements like the one above.  Next test... see if they recognize when their friend needs help without a prompt from an educator.

When we got to daycare this morning the sidewalks were still covered with beautiful soft, fresh snow.  Two of my 19 month old friends saw me with the shovel, and they went right to the bin to get their own.  Their sense of purpose and determination was apparent, as they spent time moving the snow.  One can only shovel for so long, before the temptation of a bite of new snow takes over! 

When it's your first day of daycare, a funny game of peek-a-boo in the playhouse feels great!

Spreading a little cheer at the Village office - one of the many stops on our caroling adventure

Our children must be the luckiest in the world!
Thanks to funding from Royal Canadian Legion Branch #217, Salmo Lions Club, the Province of BC and Columbia Basin Trust, the generosity of Scrap King Autowrecking and Towing, Deb and Grant Sorenson, and Christine Watson, and the creative talents of Tristan Ray and the crew of Rock Solid Masonry, we once again have a playground fit for our children!
