Infant Room - Febraury Update

First of all, I would like to mention that we said goodbye to our little friend Nolan as he turned 2 and moved up to the Toddlebot Program - we will miss you Nolan!  And , we welcomed Brantley to the Infant Room and look forward to getting to know him and his family! 
February has been an extremely cold month and we have had very little time to play outside so we have kept busy with many different activities indoors.  One day we brought snow in and filled our water table, then gave the children construction vehicles and spoons and they had so much fun!  Another day we did an activity finding letters in Oatmeal, which was a great way to promote 'I Love to Read' month.  We also enjoyed reading stories, doing felt stories, and having puppets read our stories to us! 
Valentines day we had a little party and gave our friends their cards!  We made crafts for our wall! 
We are hoping March will bring us more outside time!

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

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 ...
