New additions to the tank!

We have baby snails! The kids have all enjoyed finding them on the glass this week. When you have a minute, ask them to show you.

Sometimes messy, but oh, so fun!

I am so thankful to have clients that understand the importance of "play clothes" and don't mind that we occasionally get messy during play. Our littlest guy got awfully muddy on the playground this week, but he sure had a great time exploring! :)

A box can be so fun...

The simplest of things are often best loved by the children. Over the past week, this box was a favorite!

Related children's book recommendation: Not a Box by Antoinette Portis
Our group has read this book several times. The book is as simple, imaginative and magic as a box itself - the kids always enjoy it!

Can you find the deer?

The kids spotted two does just above the playground this week. We got a photo of them - can you find the deer?

Leaves

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly

Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Ask your child about our newest "toy"...

We added a touchless faucet adapter to the bathroom sink last week. It has been a big hit! The kids love that they can now do the whole hand-washing process themselves - along with the touchless soap dispenser and the color-coded drying cloths hung at their level, the automatic faucet makes it so easy and fun for them!

We've had a little extra playing in the sink while the faucet is still new, but I think this will actually save water in the long run. ;)

This should also be more hygienic since nothing gets touched except their individual drying cloths. Less likely to contaminate surfaces - just in time for cold and flu season!
