Toddle Bots - July Blog

Oh my goodness! The field trip was a big hit! The Toddle Bots could hardly contain their excitement to get on the bus and they all sat in the front and had their own seat belts on. It was pretty cute! We took a ton of photos and I had to pick and choose which ones to put on our documentation panel (which is located by the Toddle Bots lockers). Luckily this field trip was flexible enough that we could still fit in a quick rest time/ nap time for those who needed it (and some of them definitely needed it!) It will be interesting to see how the farm field trip will go in August (we can’t wait)! 
Every Tuesday since July has started, we have been having off-site picnic lunches! We normally walk to the Rec Center, play there for a bit then eat our lunch and make our way back. We also have been having some of our snacks on the picnic tables outside in the morning which we have noticed gives us WAY more time to play outside when it’s nice out and not really hot like the afternoon often is. Sometimes if it too hot, or on days we have been outside for the whole morning and lunch, we will take a break and head to the gym which the Toddle Bots always seem to enjoy going to.

Outside, we have been into making forts and lately making up random stories. One that they seem to enjoy is about a witch who needs to find children to put in the dinner menu and the element of surprise when I pick out someone’s name seems to excite them a lot! They are always asking for me to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider song and yelling out “BOO” at random times during the song. It’s like they enjoy being startled! Also, they have been quite imaginative lately with talking about the witch and the dragon!

I cannot even contain my excitement about how our outdoor challenge went! We had an amazing day building forts outside, having an art wall mural area set up, and face painting of course! Also, who can forget that we had a nap in the gym! We set up 3 lamps in the really dark gym and they were all so excited to sleep in there! It was really cozy and exciting all at once! We can’t wait to do it again!!

The last week of July we also went to the Fire Hall and visited them there! The fire hall is always a big hit!!

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 ...
