Turkeys and Birthdays! (11-19-2012)

We had an awesome start to our short holiday week with some fun dance parties and exploration outside! We welcomed Theo back from his vacation, and talked about how today was a special day for one of our friends, Asher, because it was his 2nd birthday! We continued our exploration out by the garden, where we found some roly polies! Teo, Paislie, and Theo all wanted to hold them, and asked nicely and waited patiently! We rounded out our exploration with some gross motor practice and group work! Jasper, Ivy, Asher, Teo, Paislie and Theo all helped pick up the long black pipe and together, walked with it across the playground! Impressive! We soon made our way in for hand washing, lunch, and nap. 

After nap, we routinely changed diapers, had milk and cuddled! Friends broke off into stations before it was time to clean up and sit down to sing Asher happy birthday and have a birthday cupcake! We brought Leina (Asher's sister) in to join us in singing happy birthday! After we sang Happy Birthday, everyone dug into their cupcake! once everyone was all done, we got shoes on, marched outside to enjoy the beautiful afternoon!

Much Love
