October 10, 2008

The weather is getting cooler but we still go outside at least once a day even if it’s only for 30 minutes. Please make sure you dress your child appropriately. We have already tested our heating system and everything is A-OK! We will normally leave the temperature at 65 degrees but since I'm always freezing our home will usually be on the warmer side.

It’s great to take the kids out on field trips. Because we are now a large group trips are scheduled on my husband’s days off (Tuesdays and Thursdays) so that I have a helping hand. It's always nice to see parents during our field trip you are always welcome. If any parents have any suggestions on kid-friendly places to go, that aren’t expensive, during the winter months please let me know.

News
-We have a new full-timer who started Tuesday. His name is Izaiah and he is 2 1/2. I’m happy to say that he has filled our last full time spot and each child has a little buddy almost the same age. It’s been interesting watching them figure out the pecking order but within a day they were all in a groove.
