Washing Day

Today was washing day!
Did you know that there is a specific domestic activity happening here based on the day of the week?
Each day has its own "job" that we do with love and care.
For example we may do dusting on Monday, washing outside toys/clothes on Tuesday, bread making on Wednesday, woodworking and sweeping on Thursday, and inside toy cleaning on Friday.
This type of work for a child helps them connect with the natural rhythms of the days of the week in a tangible way. They may not understand that today is Wednesday, but they know that it is bread making day and that the next day will be a time of woodworking.
Therefore, young children have a framework of time and feel a security and peace in knowing what will happen and what to expect.

The car washing today was wonderful fun and everyone earnestly helped to get many vehicles shiny and clean!
