"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning...They have to play with what they know to be true in order to find out more, and then they can use what they learn in new forms of play."

- Fred Rogers

Snow has arrived at the Brio Village. Trucks got stuck, snow was carried off in the back of a dump truck, and haphazard snowman were constructed. All because the dog had finally ripped out all the stuffing to one of his toys and when I picked it up while vacuuming, I dropped it onto the Brio table and walked away.

I watch him play, listening as he talks his way through what is going on, marveling at his imagination and so thankful I have a front row seat to these moments.
