At the very high temperature of 33 degrees centigrade, I can't help but allow my little one to play outside as long as she wants...dipped in water! And now she do so everyday.
Children naturally have higher body temperature than us adults, and if I am feeling mighty hot, I know that they are feeling even hotter. The 64% humidity is almost unbearable too. But instead of being cooped inside using air conditioning 24/7 with a very high electricity bill and a bored kid, I let her have fun in the water.
School is finally over! Hear them shout "SUMMER VACATION here we come!"
This is one of the most awaited time of the year for the students in the country. Because after months of assignments, projects, quizzes, examinations...they are totally free of them. For a few weeks they have the freedom to stay longer in bed, option of where to go for the day and what to do, please their love ones and bond with them.
But believe it or not, in just a few days they will get bored. Constant provision of activities in school made them crave for more activities including learning and development. Waste not the summer. Enroll them in classes they will further grow. If they are inclined with music, make them choose which instrument, could be singing or dancing. If they love art, painting, photography, weaving, sculpting. I could also be more useful learning's like another language. Driving if at the right age and responsibility meter is high. Whatever that they will enjoy and at the same time benefit from.
REMEMBER though to choose to make the schedule not too tight. Just a few hours probably. So they would still have longer time to relax, play and have a spare time to decide what to do with the remaining hours of the day.
"Shhh, I'm concentrating here...isn't it obvious that I'm so busy loving my ice cream?"
Well, who doesn't love ice cream?! Especially at a time like this when it's sizzling hot?! My kiddo is no exemption. Yes that photo was taken almost 3 years back, and she still indulge with ice creams though this time with more conviction with her favorite flavors PLUS preferring to have it in cups for a greater fill and the cone just an extra attraction on top. Wiser, huh?!
My little one's favorite thing to do on a summer
is to submerge herself in water
as often as she can. Either in her twice a day bath
or in the pool (which she prefers better, of course!)
Obviously, she loves posing for the camera as well ;)
