I like that you don't explain Michaelmas, but, instead just let Reece experience it and take it in slowly. Something to think about when I feel I need to lecture my kids (and make a power point presentation) on every subject.<br />Happy Michealmas BTW.Place Under The Pinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716448507060486535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-46562890981198436172015-09-30T18:20:35.753-04:002015-09-30T18:20:35.753-04:00I just love how you allow Reece to absorb things w...I just love how you allow Reece to absorb things without "explaining". I catch myself doing this sometimes and I try to back off. And I've found over the years that they really grasp things more profoundly when there are less words and more modelling. You are a wonderful example.

I love that you just let the rhythm of the festival steep within your son. Sometimes, as parents, we feel we have to explain everything but children absorb things through more channels than words can convey. They feel it in their bodies and hearts and that is probably the fullest way to appreciate something. Happy Michaelmas to you :)Shosannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848582110304798801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-55059526411697674242015-09-30T08:25:31.192-04:002015-09-30T08:25:31.192-04:00Since I've "known" you for years, I ...Since I've "known" you for years, I remember your celebrations here and love seeing him grow up and the traditions changing a little but staying the same.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501164039766203202.post-82744754620859242015-09-29T20:16:04.174-04:002015-09-29T20:16:04.174-04:00Lovely!

Reece will come to learn the deeper meaning of these festivals as he ages, and then our celebrations will change a little, and grow in different ways.
