Hello!

It was a rather nice morning outside so we took full advantage of it! Outside play provides an opportunity for our friends to interact with older friends next door at Wee Friends. They see old friends and meet new ones. It’s a wonderful mixing pot of personalities and play types. Some kids go hard all the time while others hang back and play quietly. Outside allows us to be free.

Nora started chopping away at the tree stump while Lulu looked on at friends playing in the sandbox. She later joined them!

Eren has been working dilengently on different bikes. First, he started off with the green bike which is called a balance bike. It allows friends to work on their balancing skills by having no pedals. Within the past couple of days, his new challenge is the blue bike (tricycle). The combination of steering the bike and pedaling can often be challenging. While in the backyard this morning, we hear Eren say, “I did it! I did it!” as he’s pedaling along. He got the hang on pedaling and steering. He was SO proud of himself. It’s wonderful to watch a child complete a task while a huge SMILE takes up their face.

This afternoon, friends worked in the gross motor area where we maneuvered blocks, stairs, and other friends .

 

For breakfast, children had english muffins with butter and oranges. Lunch consisted of homemade cheese pizza with whole grain crust, fresh tomatoes and peppers, and banana. PM snack was hard boiled eggs and graham crackers.

I’ll leave you with a slideshow of Maya playing peek-a-boo!

Have a great night!
