Hi again, so yesterday I spent the day at Williams and JJs' school. It started out as a regular day volunteering which I do quite often. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only mom who really does any volunteer work. While unpacking we found a Clifford costume and no one wanted to put the costume on and visit the classrooms. No this school is no ordinary school the kids are not older than five. These grown adults did not want to give these kids a little bit of make believe. And if you know me I love making children laugh or just being plain fun. So I dressed up as the big red dog and headed out to the class rooms. Children are usually afraid of people dressed up in costumes put for some reason when its Clifford children loose sense of fear. All the kids lit up like a Christmas tree and all started to run to me and it was the greatest feeling ever. I wish to ask everyone who is my follower on the blogs to just 1 or 2 hours of volunteer work anywhere. It is so heartfelt, children with disabilities are so much innocent than regular children in my opinion they still have that veil that god puts on all of our children.
Hi Kathy your blog is becoming more and more colorful. I really like what you've done. I hope to spend sometime on it and look around. I have to go move some snow from the front. Hopefully we could figure out how we want to discuss through this so that we earn credit for our writing class. Anyways, I'll talk to you later ok. Take care
ReplyDeleteI just actually read your big red dog post. I think that what you're doing is great. The kids must have loved Clifford. I used to watch that show with my kids when they were a bit younger and it was very good. I actually saw when Clifford wasn't such a big red dog. What you did was good for the kids but as you stated as well there are not many more edifying feelings than when one makes a kid smile, laugh, or just lose control, in a good way. The proposal is good and I will consider volunteering. Thanks Kathy!
