After dropping Smallsteps to daycare and before my first session for the day started, I grabbed a few pictures before my fingers froze. The weather has been relatively warm this Autumn, so minus three Celsius seems really cold - minus twenty five is going to be horrible.
Does your Smallsteps spend a long time in day care?
I felt like an adult woman with blue eyes like the lake of Smallsteps. She seems mature for her age because she has been with non-parents for a long time.
Her eyes looking into your room seemed to watch you carefully. She seemed to recognize the difference between others and her parents.
Has winter already begun in Finland? Would Finland be colder in winter for a man born in a warm tropical climate?
She is 4 years of age and spends the day there, while parents work. She enjoys it and there is a lot of activities they do, plus the daycare is surrounded by forest, so they have trips into explore nature.
She is probably mature for her age because she lives an anologue life (no screen time or gadgets) with parents who give her responsibilities and discuss things with her. :)
Winter hasn't begun here yet - it is still quite warm. Winter starts more toward Christmas time usually, when the temperatures are always minus. Where I live, the coldest it usually gets is mine 25 - but very rarely, it can get to minus 35 too.
I don't think it is colder for me, if anything, I deal with it better than most Finns. It is an attitude difference perhaps.
