1. They are all kind and polite kids who will spend hours entertaining L and L.
2. The older girls are amazing babysitters, who love to play, play, play, can walk to our house, have reasonable rates, and their parents are close by in the event of an emergency.
3. The kids teach L and L new games which forces them to learn turn-taking, sharing, following the rules, and that winning isn't everything!
4. They help the L kids learn to respect the needs and feelings of others.
5. They are extremely creative and spark the creativity in L and L- perform plays, make up their own games, role-playing, acting out scenes from books, and creating "magical" worlds.
6. The kids all remind me of when I was growing up... when we would run to our neighbors houses, play in the backyard, sell lemonade, start a game of kickball, and ride bikes for hours.
7. They help the L kids learn that "if you aren't nice, then we won't play with you".
8. The kids help Lo and Le to problem solve, negotiate, create, and think in new ways. They also model appropriate behavior and manners for Lo and Le.
Thanks to Ivy, Shawny, Sara, Clare, Ben, Gabe, Sophie, Abby, Max, Henry, Annabel, Lauren, and Jack!! Lo and Le are so very lucky to have you in their lives.
