Jump Darius!
Hello Sego Lily Community! I had a glorious Sego Lily Moment yestereday when we went “over the river and through the woods.” I took a group of 5 youngsters including Darius, Willow, Sandy, Audrey, and Dylan to the stream yesterday. They were throwing rocks, eating their lunch, and looking for fish as Darius jumped to a rock with a step that dunked his left foot. He looked at me with that “I know I broke a rule but did it anyway” half smile of his. I let him know that he had broken our stream rule. I said- “Now you are going to have to jump back without getting your other foot wet. He said “I can’t!” and “I won’t!” I just watched. After some time passed he took a tremendous leap back and nearly made it! Everyone cheered. Darius had some lessons in respecting rules, noticing consequences and making choices about following rules, and I had yet another lessons in letting go and letting a kid be a kid. Hope his boots don’t shrink!
