W&G/Week 12

Dear Our Time Parent:

“Laughter brings us closer to the real us—the lovable us, the happy us, the free us, the us others want to be around.”

- Terry Lynn Taylor

Giggles surround us in Wiggles & Giggles! Bouncing and swooping with the chant “Johnny & Katie,” funny faces in the mirrors as we sing “All By Myself,” and inventive partner motions in “Toodala” are all likely to elicit laughter and silliness. Laughter is an important part of ourselves—and a part we should encourage. Help your child enjoy life with lots of hearty laughs! At home, listen to “Children Laughing” (Home CD 1, track 4) and talk about laughter. Then sing “All the Day Long” (Home CD 1, track 5) and play the movement game. How many movements can you and your child think of? And how much laughter can you enjoy while playing?

I look forward to lots of smiles next week!
