Mom Moments

Its great time of year to take the kids on a twilight walk.  The weather is just right in the fall and the sun is setting early enough that you can be out in the moonlight before bedtime on a school night.

Try it!  Take just 15 minutes to walk outside after the sun has set.  Either as a whole family or use it as one on one time with one of your children. 

I like listening to what each child says for their “wish upon a star.”  I think it would be interesting to see how a teenager might feel at ease and open up when talking in the dark.

We did say an “old fashioned” rhyme about missing someone…

I see the moon

and the moon sees me.

The moon sees the one

that I want to see.

And we did have some educational comments: “That’s half of a moon”, “That star next to the moon is so bright, it might be a planet.” 

And some preschool logic: “Its bright because the sun is in the moon.”

Have a lovely evening everyone.  : )
