The Little's - August Update


It has been an amazing summer! The kids had so much fun on the field trips and getting to learn new and exciting things. We also loved hearing from each child the special things that they did when they had time off from daycare J This August, the children had a lot of visitors and they really enjoyed all the special people that came.
 

On August 9, we got a visit from the Wild Life Rehab. They came in and we got to meet 2 very special owls that they are caring for at their facility! The children loved looking at the owls and they asked lots of questions – a questions that was asked often was, “Can we pet them?”  We also had another visitor come from Prairie Exotic! They came and showed us snakes, geckos, spiders, frogs, and even a bearded dragon! The children were so excited to see all the animals and lots of them were brave enough to pet some of them!
 
On August 10th, we did a ‘Pay It Forward’ challenge! The children had a lot of fun coloring pictures for people around town. We made a special picture for different people and we asked the kids what they liked most about those people and wrote the answers on their pictures. The kids loved handing out their beautiful pictures and seeing people smile!
 

To finish off our summer we did a final field trip to Boonstra Farms in Stonewall. We had tons of fun just getting to the farm because the children were all excited to be on a bus and seeing all the construction workers who waved at us. Once we got to the farm, we went straight to the petting zoo where we got to play with the goats, see giant turkeys and waddle like ducks in a line. There was also some sheep, kittens and bunnies but they did not really did not want any of our love. After the petting zoo, we got to go on a hay ride to see all the big animals. In the big barn we met Bessie, she is a dairy cow. Everyone got a chance to either pet her or try milking her. After we said bye to Bessie we went outside to see the two horses, a donkey and a fluffy llama. Everyone got a turn to feed to horse’s oats from their hands. Once the horses had had enough to eat it was our turn for a hot dog lunch. Once everyone was finished eating the big kids went off to the corn maze while the little ones went back to our favorite part of the trip, the petting zoo.  What a fun day!

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 ...

Use of Cough medicines takes away the lives of 5 kids

A sad and shocking announcement made by The Belgian Pharmaceutical Group UCB SA on March 7 2008, has aroused a huge storm among people. As per them their popular cough medicine by the name of Tussionex has taken the lives of 5 kids who were suffering from rigorous cough due to off beam use. This pharmaceutical group has also put forward an admonition among all doctors and medical practitioners to examine their patients thoroughly before prescribing this drug. Eric Miller who is the UCB SA presenter told the media that the cough medicine Tussionex Pennkinetic Extended-Release Suspension is a much stronger drug in nature.

Miller also stressed on the point that the company has got the Tussionex manufacturing authorization since 1987. Authoritarian experiments under all circumstances and studies have...
