Marvelous Monday!

Joey, Annabelle, Theo, Ben, and Jasper were our early birds this morning. All very excited to get to the playground and let loose! We marched out along side ms Maya, who led the way to the door. On the way out, Theo was hanging out with his big brother Archer! Once outside everyone practiced their dome climbing/swinging. Some asked for help to get up to the next bar while other opted to go under the dome and look up! Alanna and Paislie arrived, and everyone was excited to see them, as they were out on Friday! Theo said goodbye to archer and mom and went to help Dom water the plants! Ben, Theo, and Joey are all great helpers as they help me untangle the hose and pull it as hard as they can :) Ivy, Teo, and Asher showed up, we played a little more then noticed it was time to head in for AM snack! We had a very "dry" snack this morning of prunes, apricots, and raisins/craisins! But everyone loved it! After snack we washed hands and sat on the circle while Ms Jackie read a book. We talked about the days of the week, and the weather.  After we made our way back to the table to do some fun, Halloween art! We've been talking about Spiders and Pumpkins, today we focused on making Spiderwebs with cotton balls! Most friends enjoyed the glue and cotton balls, Theo and Asher were not to happy with the cotton getting stuck on their gluey fingers, while Ivy, Teo, Jasper, Annabelle and Ben tried to figure out how to pull the cotton apart and place it on the glue. Paislie, Alanna and Joey enjoyed sticking the cotton on the glue, but found the glue much more interesting and exciting, they had a wonderful little sensory experience. Once done, we washed the glue off our hands and marched out for a quick free play time. Soon it was time to come back in for lunch and naps!

After nap, which was very long today! Guess everyone had a busy, long weekend, we did diapers and made our way to the table for snack. As we sat, Ms Jackie read a book about "Baby Sister", we talked to Ben about his newest baby sister, Naomi, and also to Ivy and Annabelle whose mommies have babies in their belly! It was great to hear what our friends think babies do, say, and see! joey was very excited to say he is a big boy now, but used to be a baby :)
After snack we washed hands and had a quick dance party, before our friends made their way to stations. Joey, Teo, Asher, and Ben made their way to the construction area, and built long, winding tracks, while Ivy cooked in the kitchen, an Paislie made her way to the baby crib, to check out the "sleeping babies"! Alanna found a stool an looked out the window , Jasper had a dance party to himself! We got shoes on and marched out to enjoy this beautiful, breezy afternoon

Much love
Dom and Jackie
