I was reading ahead in our joyschool curriculum the other day and came across the unit on spontaneous delight. Those two little words have been on my mind a lot lately as I try to help my children delight in the simple joys of life. After lunch today we drove Daddy to the office. On our way home Camilla was begging to do something fun instead of going home. Since Daddy has had the car for work, I think we've all suffered from a bit of cabin fever, most especially my social little Camilla. Last minute, I decided to take a right turn into a favorite park. The weather was nice enough, though I didn't have a diaper bag and there was no near by bathrooms for Hyrum. We stayed, ran, laughed and played until fingers were cold and Hyrum was doing the potty dance. It was nice to just spontaneously do something!
Camilla delights in the fact that she has finally learned how to blow bubbles with her gum! It's pretty cute. Over the course of the day I think I've seen a hundred little bubbles.
We were all delighted when the Canadian Women's Hockey team won Gold against the USA. We all wore red to cheer them on! The game was crazy as we were down 2-0 in the very last period and came back only in the last couple of minutes forcing the game into overtime. It was totally epic! So proud to be Canadian.
While I began dinner Mr. Joseph decided to spontaneously take a second nap. All of that cheering must have tuckered him out!
