Today, I’m sending my last—but certainly not least—Whirlybird off to kindergarten. ❤️

This Whirlybird has been such a sweet joy. She always looks for the positive and encourages her friends. She has big feelings—and an equally big heart with so much love to give.

She is excited about everything, notices every little detail, and is always saying, “This is so beautiful, Miss Amie. Thank you so much!”

She slowly overcame her fear of bugs and now carefully carries worms and slugs to the garden beds so they can meet up with their little families assuring them they will be okay. 🥹

At rest time, she holds one-woman shows on her mat, retelling our circle-time stories—complete with all the voices—to an audience of stuffed animals.

And often, she’ll sit beside me and tell the other children that she just wants to talk to Miss Amie for a bit. Then she’ll turn to me and ask how my day is going. ❤️

Oh, this is such a bittersweet goodbye! But I have her siblings to keep me going, and I know I’ll hear about all her wonderful adventures very soon.

Once a Whirlybird, always a Whirlybird.

“Tell me and I’ll forget.
Teach me and I’ll remember.
Involve me and I’ll learn.”
—Benjamin Franklin

Our playground garden is untamed and ever-growing—and oh, so much fun to see, smell, touch, and taste…

Nasturtiums… 🌸
Tomatoes… 🍅
Mint… 🍃
Sunflowers… 🌻
Bugs, worms, seeds, and soil… 🪱
(We did not eat that last group. 😅)

We read about what grows. We search beneath leaves, taste straight from the garden, dig in the earth, notice tiny visitors—and carry our discoveries right into our play.

This is how children learn: with muddy hands, curious minds, and plenty of room to wonder. ❤️

Today after exploring some changes on the playground — we made some beautiful butterflies — paper wings, pipe cleaner antennas, clothespin bodies and a whole lot of color. Fitting, honestly, because “Without change, there’d be no butterflies.“🥹🦋

We’re in our own in-between season here at Whirlybirds. One chapter flying off, a new one waiting just past the tree line. 🌳

Enjoying the last lazy, hazy days summer has to offer with this mini crew.

Today, I’m sending another Whirlybird off to kindergarten. ❤️

I’ve known this family for more than eight years. They were here at Whirlybirds in the very beginning with big brother—and now it’s little (but mighty) brother’s turn to fly.

This Whirlybird is endlessly curious about the world and always determined to investigate the truth. He is an avid worm hunter, treasure finder, and collector—and I’m fairly certain every piece of treasure ever discovered at Whirlybirds is currently tucked inside his backpack. 😅

He’s the one everyone wants to be friends with. The one everyone wants beside them when it’s time for an adventure. He makes us laugh—and he makes us pause and consider things a little more deeply.

His family has been part of Whirlybirds in so many ways over the years. They donated mulch and sand to help save our playground from becoming a never-ending mud pit after the grass abandoned us—and they gave us a blueberry bush.

Not just any blueberry bush, either. It has a very special name…

“The B4 Blueberry Bush.” 🫐

It will remain here at Whirlybirds, providing ingredients for many soups, potions, and muddy concoctions for years to come.

Ah, I could go on—and on. But all good things must eventually come to an end.

So, for now, we’ll say so long.

We can’t wait to hear all about your next adventures. Go investigate the world, little Whirlybird. Kindergarten is very lucky to have you. ❤️

✨☺️🎨

Once a whirlybird, always a whirlybird.
