Day 356: Cook Breakfast for a Senior Living Center


365 Firsts/Day 356: COOK BREAKFAST FOR A SENIOR LIVING CENTER. This was one of my favorite firsts so far. I cooked breakfast along with a fantastic lady who I met today, Peggy, for a group of seniors that live at Concordia Village. Bacon pancake dippers. Serious stuff. I have zero elderly people in my life and never have since I've been 5 years old, so this was really nice to be able to interact with them and share what I'm doing with 365 Firsts. They seem to appreciate it more than a lot of other people I've come across. They understand life is a ticking clock more than a lot of people and new experiences are important and fulfilling. I also met a fellow Pretzel! She graduated in 1949. Overall, it was a great experience. Thanks Allison for helping me out with this! #365firsts #volunteer #seniorcitizens #springfieldil #breakfast #bacon #nomnomnom

Day 354: Read to/Play with a Toddler Group


365 Firsts/Day 354: READ TO/PLAY WITH A TODDLER GROUP. I love kids. One of my Facebook friends was nice enough to let me join her toddler play group she runs on Wednesday mornings. I got to read a gigantic book to a group of 2 to 4 year olds and then play with them later. I also got to stamp all of their hands with frogs which is a win for everyone. It was fun! #365firsts #kids #children #volunteer #play #read
