Regine had the fantastic idea to do something special for the youngsters of NPH. On Thursday afternoon, we invited the Casa de Bebes to attend none other than.. a circus! While there certainly weren't any lions, tigers, or bears, there were kites, a limbo competition, ice cream, and even a nighttime show!
Prior to the big event, we split up into groups to work alongside the kids. I was a part of the costume group. The one thing we knew we had to have were clown noses, and that's exactly what we did! It couldn't have been any cuter to walk into the house that afternoon to see 33 wildly excited red-nosed clowns ready for fun. The first part of the afternoon was spent face painting (yes, even my face too). After that, the kids were able to jump from station to station. Whether it was kite flying or juggling, each and every one was able to find something to suit their tastes.
When it was time to call the group together, Regine asked me if I would like to be the circus announcer for the night. Claro que si! While my grammar may not have been spot on, I had a fun time informing all our little clowns when it was snack time, play time, dinner time, and showtime! They were wooed and wowed by the cartwheels, jump-roping, and even fire-juggling of the performance. After a delicious dinner of pasta and veggies, we all headed to the carpet where none other than yours truly read a bedtime story about a pig going to the circus. It was the perfect way to end an afternoon loaded with fun.
