Check out this great blog on what Einstein has to teach us. Many say he was the greatest scientist and most creative mind ever. And yet his life lessons mirror those modeled by children. This post made me think about a toddler who knows how to live in the moment or persevere despite 100 falls. We often think we have so much to teach children. But I am realizing that they have more to teach us.Daddy and Me February events
There are 2 Daddy and Me events this week. Wednesday at Robert Ogilvie gymnasium and Saturday at the NP Cultural Centre. Come enjoy some active play together and/or create a valentine sensation for someone special.
The gym is open anytime after 5:45. We usually start clean up sometime between 7 and 7:15.  Then we eat snack and enjoy time at Strong Start. There were some disappointed little ones last month who came after 7 when we were cleaning up. I apologize to those families for the confusion in scheduling.Golden Tickets at the FSJ Library
