The BJM after school program has made me realize how creative our minds are as children. From playing pretend to dressing up and holding a suspense of disbelief, these are things I feel that I’ve let go as I have gotten older. During this week’s service, I got to experience it again as I joined some children in making things with play-doh. There were some cookie cutters they used with the play-doh to pretend to have baked cookies. Then they went around having me “taste” all their assortment of desserts. This made me reminisce of times I would use items around my house when playing I substitute for other things.
That’s the most adorable thing. I wish I interacted more with the kids back when I did it.
