A day in the life of a child.
When a child wakes up, the first thing he does is go to his parents' bed to say good morning to them.
Then they have breakfast and get ready to go to school. After a few hours playing and learning
together with the other children, he comes home at noon to eat, hoping it is his favorite food, and if
not, that it is super delicious. For them their mother is the best cook in the world. When they finish, a
nap to regain strength until snack time. While they snack they see their favorite pictures, they are so
much fun! In the afternoon they do their homework, some of them are a bit difficult! But with the
