Stories at the park

We spent Wednesday morning at the big park near our house, for Miss Carol's storytime. Carol is a MOPS "mentor mom" who started a preschool storytime at a nearby Starbucks in the spring.

Now, she holds it at the park and offers crafts and games, too.

Juliana and Maya came Wednesday, too, so we all got to play together.

In the photo of Cora running, Carol set up a game where the kids ran back and forth filling up one bucket with water from another, using cups with holes in the bottom. It was a lot of fun, and gave Cora water to later dump on her legs.

Cora and Maya played really well together, as always.

Maya and Juliana were very sympathetic when Cora showed them her skinned elbow and knee.

She was running down the driveway the other night and fell. It was bad enough that she needed the blood washed off, the wounds cleaned and bandaids. It was the first time in a long time that Cora had that type of injury, and it was a Big Deal.

We've discussed her boo boos, or baddies, a lot. She wanted to tell her friends about them, and needed dishtowels in her bed to protect her blankie from the blood. (No, she was not bleeding profusely, and nothing seeped out of the bandaid. But, you never know.)
