Transitions and routines are so much more than often given credit. Those in-between moments of the day have the power to be grounding, relationship-building, and joyful.

We snacked in the sunshine to stay warm(er) today. After our snack time children always put there snacks and water bottles away, and then get cozy in the forest library to read independently or with a pal. Today, our Forest library was moved to a sunny patch of grass and children settled there after snack.

Routines feel good for children…actually for all of us. It feels good to know what comes next In a child’s day, and what that transition to the next step will look like, sound like, and feel like. And just like this photo, those moments of transition can be really quite lovely when we establish a routine with care no attention.

I don’t often capture these moments. The in-between moments. But they are important. The post-snack-forest-library is one of our favorite routines. What are some of yours? 🌲

Some days are…

Milk crate building, fort making, tree climbing, bird snuggling, hiking in the sunshine kinda days. ☀️
