We’ve been doing “best part of our day” with our two and five year olds for a few months and it’s great. Our five year old reminds us almost every night. We’ve also started doing “what’s one way you were kind today” as a way to increase kindness and sensitivity to others and it’s been a hit too.
Could the gym have been at UC Santa Cruz? I definitely remember using the treadmills there and looking out from the top of the hill down to the Monterey Bay.
Oh my gosh I love asking toddlers questions like this! We have a weekly tradition of saying something we all love about each other. Hearing our 2 year old mumble an answer about why she loves someone tends to start with things that make sense, like playing with me, and then evolve to talking about things she can see around the room too 😂
Btw I love the idea that your toddler is sharing just a part of their best day. My kids frequently have "best day ever"s, so it could really just be that every single day is THE BEST

I love that idea!

Ah interesting! I don't think I've ever been to UC Santa Cruz - but, again, I don't trust my memory on this... Sounds beautiful! :)
