Week of March 26-30

After a great week away in Mexico we are back, well rested, relaxed and ready to get back into the routine!  We had a fabulous time snorkelling, deep sea fishing, and taking in all the sights and sounds of  beach life!  The boys have a lot of stories to tell about the sea turtles they swam with every day, the 5 foot barracuda that snuck up on Logan and I snorkelling inches from our faces, the barracuda Aidan caught while fishing and many more exciting things!!!

This week we are jumping right back into things finishing off our March theme of "Growing Gardens."  There are a few crafts activities left that we have yet to do!

Thursday we will be going to the Como Conservatory on a field trip.  I have my mom and Erin coming with to help as chaperones.  I may be in need of one or two more car seats, if I need one that is weight appropriate for your child, I may ask you to leave one in the morning for us to use. 

The cost of the Field trip will be $5 to cover the donation into the conservatory and gas costs for other drivers.  Please bring the field trip money by Wednesday pick up time so I know we have it all before we get ready to leave.  We will leave by 9:30, so make sure your child is here and ready to go by 9:00.  PLEASE WEAR TENNIS SHOES. We will be eating lunch when we get back to daycare so no need to send a bag lunch.  If we have time we may  look at a few of the animals or play at the park.  Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Wednesday we have Travel Tots with Ms. Jeanette at 11:15.

Also on Wednesday Erin (my regular sub) will be here in the afternoon with the kids.  I have a follow up Dr. appointment.  She is so great and I am very excited to have her back!  She will be starting to be seen more and more around here to prepare for her helping out on a daily basis this summer and after my "Maternity Leave"

And just a quick update on that.  My dr. has agreed to induce at 39 weeks (July 19 or 20) if I have yet to have delivered by that point.  So if it lasts that long, I would deliver on Thur or Friday of that week, with Erin here those days, and then be closed the following week.  Things could still happen before that, but as of now, my July 27th due date means nothing!!!  Just thought I'd keep you updated!  And yes, we did found out at our ultrasound, that there are NO tutus or ruffles in our future!  It's another boy!

Just a reminder also to really check the weather forecast each morning and dress your child appropriately for that day.  We are usually outside the longest in the afternoon, from 3:30-5:00, so dress for that time of day.  The weather can vary so much from day to day and morning to afternoon, that you will have to keep an eye on the forecast for each day or your child may be way over dressed, or worse, underdressed.  If it is not raining, we will go outside.
