Gone Buggy

One of our PreK 3 friends brought in some special buggy things for us to look at this month since our theme is all about BUGS!! We had a fun butterfly display and also two live millipedes. All of our friends loved checking out the cool specimens! Some of them just didn't want to get too close. :)

Sunshine!!

Our infants were so excited to spend some time on their playground yesterday afternoon! They loved being out in the nice weather and seeing the sunshine! They spent some time riding around in our four baby stroller and some time playing in our "grass". We are so thankful to have this special turf the babies can sit on. It looks like grass but the babies can't break the actual blades of turf to put in their mouths(as we all know babies love to put things in their mouth. Sensory development!!) This makes for a safer environment for our precious little infants, but at the same time they can still enjoy the fresh air!
Sweet babies!

So happy to be outside!

Sharing the ball with my friends. 

So much fun
Hopefully we will see more of this beautiful spring weather now that are babies have been spoiled with the sunshine! For a fun and entertaining activity to do with your kids using sunshine and shadows click here.
