Happy Valentine's Day!
Spending the morning with our Sibshop friends was a great way to start off a Valentine's Day Celebration!
The kids began the festivities by creating some sweet "Love Bugs" to take home and share with their families.
We watched a video called 'Special Siblings" and had an excellent discussion about what it is like to be the sibling of a brother or sister with special needs. Just click on this link to watch the video yourself! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJIr29_m3pE Our Sibshoppers sure do love their siblings, despite the challenges they bring. They have beautiful hopes and dreams for them as well!
We weren't able to get photographs of a couple of other activities--we
were just too busy having fun. The kids enjoyed miming some of the
activities they love in 'Instant Replay". We're talking snowball fights, reading, gaming, cheerleading, playing football, making videos and all sorts of other fun hobbies!
We all got a little winded
playing a crazy, active game of "Do You Love Your Neighbor?" Our Sibshoppers seem to enjoy this classic game even though it tires out all us volunteers!
We wrapped up the festivities with some Valentines Bingo. This is an annual favorite of our Sibshoppers. I'm convinced they really just like the big heart candy!
Happy Valentines Day and we'll see you on March 14th!
