MiriamaIt was a very wet day & I could have stayed home, under a blanket & watched a movie BUT...I decided to spend an afternoon visiting my daughter Charli & her friends at Jack & Jill. I was a little apprehensive as I was not sure what to expect.On arrival I could hear lots of giggles & lots of chatter but I took a deep breath & dived in. The children were of various ages & shapes & sizes but I was greeted with smiles all round... thank goodness...so far so good. Because of the weather the children were indoors occupied with activities. I observed & joined some of the children playing picture bingo which was fun & they even let me win a game. My favourite part of the day was reading to some of the children. They even knew some of the books off by heart as they would recite the words before I got to that particular part. Afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches (brown & white bread) & fruit (fruit & vegetables are offered at every meal)...water was also offered. I was very impressed with the children's manners - guess it is true - Children are better behaved for other people. While I enjoyed my afternoon at Jack & Jill, I wouldn't give up my day job. The staff is doing a brilliant job with our kids & I believe they're doing a wonderful job assisting me in raising a confident young girl to be the best person she can be in the world. I'm glad that when I go to work every day I need not worry about Charli as she is in the best hands, at the right place, having the time of her life. |
