We have a Rudolf Steiner school in our area with a playgroup and ever since we arrived I've been meaning to get there. Everyone I spoke to assured me that there was a huge waiting list and I'd have to put my name down, even so I thought I'd ring and try to organise something. Obviously it was our lucky break and someone was looking after us as without any waiting list we were able to go along to a session today.
What a breathe of fresh air!!! I was a little worried about taking the kids to yet another place where they had to make new friends. This was taken care of though as we meet two other Mum's whose children we knew as we arrived. Our oldest happily went off to play with her new 'old' friend that she hadn't seen in a while and the youngest was more than happy to plod after them. The session starts with making bread along with some songs, followed by a mat session with songs - something that we do at home but have not had in groups. It was so nice to see our oldest singing along straight away. The session was such a great mix of structure and free play without the masses of toys which usually haunt the other groups we go to. The youngest was mesmerized as the teacher told a story with toys at the end which for me was confirmation that it was a great success.
This was my right decision for the day to move me towards the life I want to live. For the first time we were with like minded people who raised their kids with similar values to us. Our aim is to surround ourselves with positive people and today certainly achieved that.
