What is Kids Day, you may ask? It may not be a national holiday, but it's a Reinhart holiday. One we started this year. The reasoning behind celebrating is due to Miss Laney. Back in June, when we were getting cards for Father's Day, I explained to the kids that the cards were for Daddy to celebrate him on Father's Day. Laney asked, "Well when's kids day?" I said, "Laney, I don't know what you mean." (knowing perfectly well where she was going with this). Her response, "Mommy, you have Mother's Day. Daddy has Father's Day. When's Kid's Day?" I said, "Your birthday!" She said, "You and Daddy both have birthday's too!" (smart kid....). Good point, Laney.
Benji was telling the story to a co-worker and she suggested doing a Kid's Day. We chose the first Saturday of August as "Kid's Day". What do we do on Kid's Day?
Something fun for the kids! So we made it a 2 day event this year!
Cincinnati Reds game on Friday!
Newport Aquarium on Saturday!
The kids each took money to the aquarium to buy something special. Mommy and Daddy bought them a Reds hat (for Laney) and a Reds shirt (for Max).
We celebrated the kids!!
They're already talking about the next Kids Day!
Although everyday seems like Kids Day...because it IS always all about the kiddos!
Happy Kid's Day!
I love this idea! Although I also laughed because like you said, our lives are always about the kids. But what a fun way to make them feel extra special! Good thinking Laney! Meg
