Hello to All,
It's about that time again, school is about to begin and our children are ready to head back and fill their brains with knowledge. At Lincoln Plaza we have decided to take the time and just chill...take a deep breath and prepare our minds for the big event. These past few weeks since the boys are on vacation I've had nothing but girls in the after school program. I asked for parental permission because the activities we have done involved me giving the girls makeovers. Many of my girls are the big sister in the family and don't experience having older sisters doing their hair and makeup.
Also many of them don't have the luxury of mom doing that with them because of work and time constraints. The short of it is, many of these girls had so much fun...I had to come up with a princess day where they got to dress up like princesses and enjoy getting their hair and make up done. Although I enjoyed doing this with/for them, it made me reflect on my upbringing and the bond I have with my siblings. Gestures like this help us reflect on how we are making a difference especially after hearing "when my baby sister grows up I will do this with her." It might have been a last minute idea but it turned out amazing...I got to see the girls smile. This is why I enjoy my job and love what I do. Making a difference one smile at a time.
Before I forget, please enjoy a few photos of our arts/crafts projects...
