- being read to, story-time
- the feeling of absolute freedom that first afternoon that school would get out for summer vacation
- riding (and sleeping) in the back seat on car trips. listening to garrison keillor and other radio shows.
- how we (classmates) would play with and braid each other's hair, rub backs, scratch hands, etc.
- my mom taking me out of the tub and wrapping me up in a huge fluffy towel
- how bath time could be an adventure
- how fishing for quarters at the bottom of a pool could be entertaining for hours
- opportunities to play with clay
- that is was still ok to share secrets with your friends or ask really personal questions
- snacks - ants on a log, apple juice and cookies, peanut butter apples, juice boxes
- building forts
- nap-time
- slip n slides
- sleepovers
- playground, especially the really good ones
