TGIF! Happy Birthday Alyssa!!!

Today Alyssa is offically One! She has had a great Birthday. We made Birthday headbands for our heads. Then they played with ballons. The girls loved throwing them in the air and chasing them. Kendyl was not too happy when a ballon popped on accident :( but she loved watching the ballons fly in the air. Today's favorite book was the Nursery Rhymes Story Book. The girls thought Yankee doodle was hilarius today (even though they heard it a million times). Also Ashlyn got a kick out of Cecelia standing up in the tunnel and playing Peek-A-Boo, but instead of saying Peek-A-Boo she was naming off food "cheesburger, pickle, apples, etc." I have never heard Ashlyn laugh so hard! She was almost crying she was lughing so hard! the girls have had a great moring and we are going to try to get outside this afternoon. I was hoping to have the August Newsletter ready for pick up today, but due to computer difficulties it will not be ready until Monday. Have a Great Weekend!

Thursday!

We were happy to receive a Play Vet Kit from Alyssa to play with today. All the girl's enjoyed doctoring up their animals and each other. Kendyl even took her own blood pressure! Kendyl loves to sit and be involved with the group activities. Today's favorite story was 'Stinky Stinky Diaper Change Boy My Brother Sure Smells Strange...' it is a really cute story. Cecelia and Josslin went around to the babies smelling their bottoms after we read the story. Alyssa's favorite word is now "Eehooo!" She says it after everything she does. I have seen Ashlyn trying to copy her. We have been doing a lot of the song "If you Are happy and You Know it" When we get to the stomping part Alyssa hold on to the couch to stomp one foot. Ashlyn is trying her hardest to crawl. She does a great job at pulling herself forward on to her belly when she is in a sitting position. It won't be long before she is crawling! We are going to try to reschedule our Water day for tomorrow.

Wednesday! No Water Day :(

The rain ruined our Wacky Water Day, but the children enjoyed watching the rain from the windows. We sang 'If All The Rain Drops Were Lemon Drops and Gum Drops!' They loved singing it! We enjoyed the day in reading books. The girls love the touch and feel books. Kendyl and Ashlyn love dancing to the music in the bouncey! The playroom's favorite song is now 'Barbie Girl'. The girls sing it to the top of their lungs and dance their booties off! Today is Kendyl's Daddy's Birthday, so if you see him say hi! The rain has made the girls so sleepy, they all fell asleep very fast at nap time today. Water day was rained out today, but it may be scheduled for another day this week.

July...

I am so thanmkful for the beautiful weather we have had this month. The children have had a blast taking walks, having water day, and playing outside! we have staye busy inside too. Alyssa now sits during circle time all by herself! As soon as she hears me say "Its story time!" she runs to her story time chair. Ashlyn is building lots of muscles! She sits up and plays all by herself and today she leaned forward and tried climbing up my chair! Kendyl is growing so fast, she is catching up with all the girls. She is working really hard at sitting up al by herself and she is enjoying all the new taste of real baby food (not just cereal). Josslin is working hard at saying goodbye to 'Fefe' and also getting ready to start going on the big girl potty! Cecelia has started a new whole set of vocabulary and she says everything! Today she told Amy that she will talk to her later on Facebook! Wow! The girls are getting so big, but it is a blessing watching them grow!
