Holiday Hunt

Special Guest Post: C's Daycare Teachers
We get emails from c's teachers every day with a little update of how the day has gone so far. Today's was cute enough I thought I'd share :o)

We are back and warming up after we went on a Holiday Hunt! After breakfast, we decided to go for a walk around Research Park and find holiday decorations. Over by the Feynman Center, we found lots of blue lots outside. Inside we found a Christmas tree!!

There was also a snowman inside. When we went back outside, Stefanie spied some snowflakes. It was tricky to see them, but we eventually spotted them on the BTC. Then we went through the road and tiptoed into a “cave.” Then we ran around because “The Christmas Tree is going to get us!!!” While we were running around, we spotted two large wreaths hanging on the Agora building. Then we noticed the cow was no longer outside. After some thought, we decided that he was probably inside because he didn’t want to get broken or didn’t want to be cold.

We thought that the other cow might still be outside. Our teachers thought he would also be inside. So we went over to the Farmer’s Market area to find out. The suspense was hard to handle!! When we FINALLY made it to the pavilion, we discovered that the cow was not outside. Our teachers were right. After that, there weren’t any more lights or decorations, but we did a lot of running from bears.

Our walk was full of adventures! Now we are going to spend some time playing in the classroom and will eat lunch soon. We hope you are having a marvelous day!

Brave Souls

M came home with a little blue paint under her nails the other day. I didn't think much of it at the time. Turns out it was the only remaining evidence of what might be the bravest thing a baby room teacher could do - full body painting...

M's a fan

Visit

We were playing in the living room on Sunday morning, and all of a sudden c stopped playing, sat down and stared out the window. I started to ask what was up and she shushed me and said she was watching the birdie. I looked out expecting a finch, and instead saw this guy:

I'm pretty sure he's a hawk. And whatever he is I'm happy he was outside and we were in.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship

So max has been a fan of us feeding m since we started to feed m, but hasn't really interacted much with her directly. Now that she's sitting up and interacting I suspect that's about to change...

Now it could be that max was just smelling residual breakfast

but i'd prefer to think that instead he was greeting his next great playmate :o)

Let the record show...

...that m is not ALWAYS smiling.

Early morning November 28th 2014. M had rolled on to her belly and was none to pleased that I took a picture instead of rolling her back over. A mom's got to get photographic evidence while she can!

Do you want to build a snowman?

Wisconsin weather is weird. Mid November - high of 10 degrees. This weekend - high of 45. Now let's be very clear I'm not complaining about it not being freezing :o)

Anyway, it was cold in Novemeber and we actually had snow. So when folks were in town for Thanksgiving C and Grandpa built an honest to goodness snowman.

Sam helped too.

But he wasn't particularly impressed.

Hi Friends

So I blinked, and now apparently we're well into December. Huh. I wonder how that happened.

Things are fine on the home front. M is sitting:

and eating

And c and her class are exploring the woods with a surprising lack of snow for December

and I am slacking when it comes to blogging :o) This weekend - back to an actual computer to process pictures and write something worthwhile!
