Tasting Watermelon!!!







I brought in a watermelon for the toddlers to taste today. All of them enjoyed their piece except for Lola and Vinnie so they, waited very patiently for their pretzels afterwards. 








My favorite activity in the summer to do with the toddlers is painting with water and what better way to do it with easy cleanup. I showed them how to paint the building brown and we watched it disappear. They had fun dipping their paint brushes into the muffin tins filled with water. When the water was gone we were done, this kept them occupied for 20 minutes!!!

Hot Day!=Water Day!


We were supposed to have our water day on Wednesday. This morning we took one step outside to play on our playground and I knew sure enough we had to have a water day with the 2's. Please bring a stack of swim diapers to store in your child's cubby because you never know when we might go out and enjoy some splashing fun!


I decided to add some extra fun to our swimming pools by adding a slide to slide down into the water. Who knew they absolutely loved that, they are training for the water parks someday!



Miss Beth made these adorable fish yesterday during art time with the toddlers!



The snow cone truck visited the toddlers yesterday!!! What better way to enjoy the flavored ice stipped down to their diapers enjoying the hot weather! 


We Baby Bears love listening to Dr. Jean Songs, we have the Bible version of all the songs that we sing during our morning bible time with Miss Nancy. We did not get to go to Bible today, because I wanted to get them outside to enjoy some of it before it got to hot. Well apparently we should have gone, I look over to see all the chairs lined up and our toddlers imitating the songs! I'm quite proud of my bunch, even if they can't sit still through Bible time they are still listening to what's going on! 



This afternoon we worked on ripping paper up so we could glue it down with our paint brushes. Everyone got a little cup with glue so they could paint their papers. Then we put the ripped pieces on top of the glue and let them pat them down. Some of the toddlers were getting frustrated by the paper getting stuck to their hands. 






Apparently, Lola was very popular today!!!


Busy days makes for sleepy tots!!! We had to wake almost all of them up today!

We scream for ice cream!!!




Strawberry Ice Cream

1 banana, sliced and frozen
1 handful of strawberries, frozen
1-2 tablespoons coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Place the frozen bananas and strawberries into a food processor. Start blending then add in the vanilla and coconut milk. Just enough for it to blend together but not too much, we want it to be really thick! Once it is nice and smooth but still very thick scoop it out and enjoy! It needs to be eaten right away as it will not keep very well in the freezer. Makes 2-3 servings. 

Today, I ended up spoiling the toddlers by buying them ninja turtle ice cream bars when the ice cream truck visited. We talked all morning about how our turtle ice cream bars were in the freezer and talking about hot vs. cold. I think they got it because when they ate their ice cream they kept saying "bbrrrr".

We love playtime!

Had to share our sunglass pictures! It describes everyone's personality! The Baby Bears all circled around me when I brought out the sunglasses today for pictures. I think they all look pretty cool! 

















Some of the toddlers favorite things to do right now are reading books, many books! Scribbling with markers, lining up race cars or grouping them together and art time!




















We love getting toddler hugs and cuddles!!!
