Power Hour is a children's group that meets every other week. They meet four times each "session" and are free to go to. It's put on by a group of women from a local church and they do an amazing job putting together this play times that are themed. Our first time going was three weeks ago. The theme was Olympics and passing along the "torch" of Christianity. It starts by letting the kids play for a while, then they do a story time on mats and songs, then a craft activity and snack. I know, amazing that it's free right?! Well, I didn't get to snap a picture the first time but the definite highlight was the "race" they had all of the kids do. They lined all of the kids up along one wall of the gymnasium they were in, then used a streamer to create a finish line on the other side. The kids range in age from baby to 4/5 yr olds so it wasn't what you would consider a competitive race. Well, then of course they go "ready, set, go!". Keller got into his stance and took off. He finished somewhere in the middle but as soon as he crossed that finish line he was jumping with joy! So excited and proud! He clapped and cheered his little head off. It was SO cute! I even had other moms come up to me afterwards and comment on how adorable he was.
Anyways, this last time (last week) was Basketball themed for a sport and then "let your light shine" for Jesus was the tag line. Keller immediately was excited because of the basketballs (and balloons!) and then he also got a fun "light" to play with when singing "This little light of mine". Here are some pictures from this last gathering.
