萱萱 and 阳阳 have not been to the playground nor basketball court for several months now due to the virus. You can tell they are restless, especially 阳阳 who doesn't get to go school yet. 萱萱's been out to the hospital for the past few weeks.
So finally we brought them down to the basketball court for some outdoor play. They were naturally over the moon and were jumping with joy in the lobby and lift. We took all the appropriate safety measures and insist they continue wearing their masks. It makes it harder for them to breath but it was necessary.
Kids are meant to go out and play and not coop up at home. They learn through play and denying them of it strips them of intellectual and cognitive growth. So weighing the risk and benefits, I'm gonna try to bring them out more often now that we are now in Phase 2 where some outdoor activities can begin again.
