Welcome to May! It has been wonderful and exciting to see green grass and leaves pop up everywhere. The weather has been great so you'll find us outside every morning and some afternoons. We have even had the opportunity to have lunch outside. Woohoo! We have been busy exploring the yard by playing in the dirt and grass, smelling the flowers and dandelions and finding out how leaves and the tree seeds feel. We have learned about Africa, China and Chili; by doing some jewelry, fans, lanterns and a play dough stonehedge - Easter Island. We also tried some food from each country. It was all very yummy. We always love to sing and read. Some favorites this month are "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "The Potty Book", one for boys and one for girls. We are also learning to be gentle with our pets with the book "Tails Are Not for Pulling". We are looking forward to many more days of warm , sunny weather and the opportunity to explore more.
Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More
