Today is the first birthday party at the new Manabiya Yumenomori. We are celebrating our friends who were born in August and September, because we couldn't do it during summer vacation. Also, Yumenomori-kun, was also born in August...

Should we leave our room and hold the party here...?

Tomorrow is her birthday, so today is the eve of her birthday.
She's excited for tomorrow!

This is the last time she will play with water as a 2 year old…

She seemed busy going back and forth to get water...

While she was repeating it...
She said, "I'll get water!" and went to the water tap...
Huh? She's not coming back...

We looked at the situation...

How does this look to you?
We wonder what happened to her?

Time for the news!
 
Now, she is holding the bottle, and turned the tap on more.
The water splashed on her face as the bottle suddenly became heavier. She couldn't stop the water in time, so she dropped it!
She tried a second time, and her method was the same. But before it got too heavy, she took the bottle away to her destination.
However, I can feel her desire to carry lots of water.
 
Let's observe for a while...

There was movement!
 
She has made only a little bit of water come from a tap!
She sat down!! She is catching water lower than before.
I see... With this method, it won't splash as much, she can support the plastic bottle, she can fill it to the brim, and this makes it so she can easily put it down when she wants to turn off the water.
 
And I'll give it back to you here!

This may have been a small incident…

But this is a lot to think about with such a small body...
I think she "felt'' and "thought''...
When we "think'', the quality of our actions change.
She noticed the problem in her own way and came up with her own answer!
It's the "ability to think!" It's the "power to live!"
 
However, if the designers had lent a helping hand...
If we had suggested a more mature way to make it "less time consuming''...
Would they have been able to design this form of growth? This process…?

This is why we call a "teacher" a "designer."

If "feeling" is the first step before "thinking"...

The Kodomoen starts from here!

Don't think, feel!
 
She felt, thought, and came up with her own answer...

This is the beginning of a wonderful 3 year old!

Happy 3rd birthday!
Congratulations to her mother for this baby of 3 years!
