Swords

One of the four-year-olds brought a “shield’ and several foam swords to childcare this morning, and they went after each other for probably a good forty-five minutes. Best part was that they were almost more interested in “killing” each other than they were in “killing” the teachers.

Case in point: the little girl in this picture is fending off two boys with her hands – without dying or losing limbs. Something about the whole scene just made me think, “Peter Pan!”

Then, three toddler sized children tried to sit on me at once, and I had other things to think about.
