Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a great day.

Our friends started their day with some music!

When Rosemary was asked how many babies she had, she answered with, “A lot!”

Anna rode a bike down the hill and then pushed it all the way back up.

David and Ruby had fun hanging out in the sandbox.

Annabelle explored all over the backyard!

Breakfast was whole wheat toast with butter and fresh raspberries. Lunch was whole grain brown rice with kidney beans, strawberries, and broccoli. Afternoon snack was wheat crackers with sweet pea butter.

Have a good night!

Today was a bittersweet day as we say goodbye to our friend Aislinn. She’s headed off to vacation, camp and then kindergarten in the fall! As someone who brings so much creativity, energy and spunk into the Wee World, Aislinn will be hard to replace. We have truly enjoyed learning with Aislinn and watching her grow these last few years.

We presented Aislinn with a special book filled with pictures from her time here at Wee Friends. Friends excitedly looked through the album, exclaiming “I remember that!” and “Look that’s me!”

Friends were also treated to fresh blueberries and tomatoes in honor of Aislinn’s last day.

We will miss you so much Aislinn!

A big shout-out to our birthday boy, Eren! He turned 4 today! Eren might have grown a little bigger these past few years, but he still has that wonderful smile 🙂

Wee Frienders took time this morning to make Eren a special “E” birthday card. With the discovery of a bunch of random art materials: felt hearts, white circles, puzzle pieces, googly eyes and more, it was a glue extravaganza!

After every inch of the card was filled, friends continued to enjoy the process of gluing.

They even continued outside!

Have a great day. –Jessica

Wee Sprouts: Carrots. Breakfast: Hot wheat cereal and fresh blackberries. Lunch: Farm fresh eggs, whole wheat English muffins, fresh broccoli and strawberries. Snack: Mozzarella cheese sticks and homemade banana muffins in honor of Eren’s birthday!

For those of you arriving in the early morning, you may have seen or heard about our exciting visitor today, “a kitty cat”!

The sweet young calico was a huge source of entertainment for the Wee Frienders. The cat’s presence led to many deep conversations about what it means to be a stray cat, how we use microchips for tracking animals and what cats eat. We also saw first hand that cats can climb trees!

After a check at the vet to see if the kitten had a microchip or owner, we discovered that the kitten is female and 7-8 weeks old.

Amanda from WWF graciously decided to adopt the kitten! We are so happy the kitten will have a loving and safe home with Amanda. We look forward to pictures!

Have a great Tuesday! –Jessica

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers and carrots. Breakfast: Whole Grain Cheerios and fresh blackberries. Lunch: Whole wheat English muffin with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, fresh green beans and watermelon. Snack: Homemade popcorn with butter and cantaloupe.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Annabelle and David are each one year old now! Happy birthday to them both!

Rosemary was a big help today by bringing toys to the babies. She even cooked something up in the kitchen and brought it to Franklin to try.

Anna loves picking out books from the shelf and reading them herself!

Breakfast was toasted whole wheat bagels with butter and pears. Lunch consisted of whole wheat pasta with chicken, blueberries, and mixed vegetables. Afternoon snack was blueberries, raspberries, and string cheese.

Have a good night!
