Children's Day is different almost in each country. Unicef has a different day also for the International Children's Day. World Children's Day is on November 20th to protect children for working in bad conditions. Anyway in our family, we celebrate Children's Day (Día del Niño) on June 1st, ant this year we took advantage that we had a wonderful weather.
We started the day with brunch in a cowboy & indians restaurant. Then, we bought for the kids an inflatable pool so they spent the afternoon splashing and laughing. In the meanwhile, my hubby started to build his next project for the children: an amazing wood playground that I'll show later.
In this important day, we all adults should try to impersonate our children, as they have valuable lessons to teach us. My children probably don't know how to behave properly yet, but they're so freaking happy! We should be watching our kids, not just for proper parental supervision, but to learn how to be as happy. It's actually wise to try to catch some of their self-esteem and confidence, their ability to make friends quickly without worries to be rejected, their honesty to tell what they think, their curiosity to learn about almost everything, their desire to do things just for pleasure and don't for hidden purposes, their indifference for prices and brands, their disinhibition as they're not at all afraid to show their feelings. They do fight, but when it's over, it's over, they don't keep resentments or stay mad for months or even gossip about their friends. They, our little kids, can see the best in people!
