Infant Room - July Update

July came and went in the blink of an eye!  We can't believe how quickly it flew but we can only think that it is because of all the fun we had!  We said goodbye to Hayden at the end of July and welcomed Paisley into our room.

We had so many special days this month and lots of fun activities!  We spent some of our picnic lunches at the Rec Center and the others in our play yard.  The kids enjoyed the extra time outdoors!

We did a variety of activities and experiences for the kids on our water days.  We had a sprinkler one day, pom pom ice cubes another day and then we also set up a little car wash another day where the kids were given water and sponges to wash their little toy cars!

We had a jello dig one day, where the kids used spoons to dig for little farm animals.  It was so messy but soooo much fun!

"Mr. Ken Magic" came and visited us and put on an awesome magic show.  I think the highlight for the infant room kids was petting the bunny at the end!

Lastly, we went on a field trip to the fire hall in Sanford.  We watched our teacher get all dressed up in the fire fighter gear and we followed her while she crawled around to find someone in a pretend fire.  We also sat in the big fire truck and got an opportunity to feel the hose and help spray it. 

We are looking forward to another month full of fun!

Giving your baby a bath

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. Long ago, as people got older, their teeth would rot away and be very painful. To get rid of a toothache, they had their teeth pulled out. Finally people ...
