Littles - May blog

This past month we have been busy! We started a new program that is called Fit Kids Healthy Kids. Fit Kids goal is to teach children and their teachers the fundamentals of movement that makes kids confident and competent in sport, recreation, and life. The goal of their program is fit, healthy kids that are active for life. So every Wednesday our new friend Lyra comes to our back yard and plays lots of really fun games with everyone. Some of the children’s favorite games are in the water on the beach where they have to jump in the “water” aka the hula hoop, and then on the “beach” which is out of the hoop. Another one is a game called lost puppy, the children pretend that the colorful bean bags are puppies and they have to run and sort the puppies in to their matching hula hoop or “home”

This month we also worked on a secret project for our moms. The children really seemed to enjoy keeping a special surprise from everyone. We managed to make our own peppermint body scrub and all the children really liked how it felt and smelled on their hands before we bottled it up to give as a present.

At the end of the month we had some really special visitors come. Matty brought his dad in to talk about what he does as a police officer! The children were all really excited to see him and his partner, all dressed up in their uniforms. They let us play with their handcuffs and then showed us all the lights and sirens that are on their police car. Most of the children were quite shy while they were here but after they left and we came inside, they were all playing games about police saving the day and protecting people.

We are looking forward to what June has in store for us and the summer weather!

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

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth.
