Santa's little helper? Nope. She just want to have a picture with this Santa which is smaller than her.
Two weeks ago me and my daughter got a chance to go to the mall since children are already allowed as long as they are accompanied by fully vaccinated guardian/adult. I observed that the mall was slightly crowded but social distancing was observed though. Many parents or guardians already brought their kids since it's allowed now and it feared me seeing that scenario.
I feared for my child's health and for the other kids inside the mall. Kids can't avoid touching things, especially toys when they see them. Another thing is, kids can't avoid rubbing their eyes, nose or their face. Worst of all kids can't avoid removing their mask. The risk of getting the covid19 virus is too high for the kids.
I realized that I won't take the risk anymore. I won't bring again my daughter to such crowded places. The virus is still there. It is everywhere. We can't see it that's why we should be extra careful. We should not be too complacent.
Dear God, praying covid19 will end the soonest possible time, and that time is today. Please end this pandemic so that everyone will be free. Free from fear, free from anxiety, free from wearing mask, free to fly like a bird.
The pandemic is still with us and it is very active and spreading rapidly.
Knowing what to do to reduce it's effect is one thing, doing that is another thing altogether.
When it comes to kids, we've got to be extra careful with them. Like you said, they can't stop themselves from touching things. Heheh
