Adventures of a Family

Today was Jonah's first day of our little community co-op called "Sprouts" and this is what our friend, Luke, had to say about how the kids did. Priceless. "Let's keep those tips about how to interpret and engage our kidscoming -- they are invaluable. For example we were glad to have heard from Jonah's folks that "I want a snack" usually actually means he is ready for something else to do. Because we knew what that meant we were able to keep engaging him in new activities. He asked to go home a couple times but was never very upset about it and it was not hard to get him engaged and having fun again quickly.
