First Impressions Mothers and Toddlers, Athlone

15/05/2020

Hi everyone.
It has been a while that this page was quiet.
Those past few weeks have probably been hard in you and your little ones (and on the not-so-little as well).
My children and I (all over 5yo) are trying to break the seriousness with silly songs sometimes, so I just want to share some with you. Let me know what you think of it 😉

If you are already going crazy, why not Go bananas?🍌🍌🍌

Grace and peace to you (and some bananas too 😉)

Get crazy as you pop corn, mash potatoes, squeeze orange, squish the squash, cry from the onion, and go bananas! This video comes from GoNoodle’s Moose Tube ...

Happy September, everyone! 🥳🥳

Life is starting to go back to normal, older kids settling into school routine and I'm making plans to restart our **First Impressions Moms n' Tots** in October.

Are you in?
I'm thinking of sticking with Wednesday mornings, 10:30.
Please let me know if that suits you :D I hope to make new friends on this new term!

Grace and peace,

School is back!
All moms sigh in relief 😂

Unfortunately our group still doesn't have a date to start again. But I'll keep you informed.
Our prayers is that your precious little ones will settle (back) into school ❤

We had our last meeting today! 😢 But stay tuned here, we might meet at playgrounds or play areas throughout the summer!!!

Today, after our songs and fun, I was chatting with the moms about simple things we can do to guide our children in God's word.
And I mentioned a book that I'm using with my children.
It's one little story, a Bible verse and a little prayer, for each day of the year (each page comes with a date!)
Simple to use, very straight forward, and biblically faithful.
Here's the link, if anyone is interested.

The book is brand new and will be dispatched from UK.

Wednesday, 20th of June, is our last meeting before the Summer. So come along and let's have fun!
❤
My journey with this group started 7 years ago, when my first girl was around 9 months old. Then, the second and third came along and it has been my pleasure to share those mornings with other moms and their little ones.
All my babies are grown now, and this will probably be my last meeting in a mothers and toddlers group.
It's bittersweet ❤ but, as the Bible says "there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens" (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

On behalf of Gaeloideachas,

What kind of school do you want for your child? Between now and June 11th, preschools in 16 areas across the country will be asking parents to fill out a short, simple survey. If you’d like to have a multi-denominational gaelscoil in your area, be sure to have your say! Get more information on the benefits for your child here: http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/en/why-choose-a-gaelscoil/

Parents of preschool children in Athlone, if you’d like to have a multi-denominational gaelscoil in your area, be sure to have your say! Survey available from your preschool, be sure to complete and return it before June 11th.

Gaelscoileanna Teo. is a national, voluntary organisation that has been working to support and promote education through the medium of Irish for more than 40 years. We believe that choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a parent will make on their child’s behalf, and our role is ...

Good morning!
Unfortunately we will NOT meet this morning.
A number of factors are adding up for that.
I hope we will all be well to meet next week!
Have a blessed week!
