Mighty Fine Monday

Greeting Infant Fams,
We are starting the last week of October and spirits are high as we are preparing for our party this Wed. Reminder that they party will start at 4:30 and we will dress those babies that bring costumes right before it starts! We hope to catch a good pic of all the babes in their costumes! I hope to see you all there!

Today was an overall splendid day! We started our day off with some morning indoor free play! We had a quick lesson on "hats" as babies all watched me use a variety of baskets and bowls as a hat! They carefully studied me put them on and quickly take the "hat" off. We followed up with some morning snack where some babies are eating 2nd breakfast! These babes definitely have larger appetites now a days and so it seems like we have more like 3 set "meal/snack" times

• Parent's please feel free to pack your Sprout extra snacks for these times

After snack Walter, Jackson, and Genevieve went outside on the deck for some play before we hit the sack! The pre-tot class was also outside on the deck and so it was a nice opportunity for the babes to mingle and to visit with Gage! Julia and Miles stayed inside and had a special snack time at the table just the two of them! Morning nap went very well as babies slept close to 12! Circle time and lunch followed and it was smooth sailing for everyone! The babies have gotten into the routine of going outside right after lunch and so we made out way back on out! We watched and popped bubbles while singing our favorite songs. The time had gone and come for another round of "snacks' and so back inside we went. We had a quick round of hand washing then munched out as a group! There was lots of dancing during snack as I was making up some nice raps about the babies. Lots of booty shaking going on by Jackson and Genevieve! 
Walter was very happy playing with his bowl and block! He would toss it up and try to catch it (this was a game I demonstrated played earlier this morning with a basket and tenis ball)

Some of the babies were getting sleepy and so nap transitions started right after snack. We read 2 books then started patting friends to sleep. Jackson and Genevieve were showing no signs of being sleepy yet and so I took them outside to the backyard to burn some energy while the other babes started their nap! The duo walkers absolutely loved it out there! There was so much to take in and explore. They were very interested in the sand box, balls, and slide. The two played for a while and then joined friends back inside for nap. 
This concludes our day and  we all look forward to the rest of our week! 

Much Peace&Love,
Toni
