Valentine's Day

This was the first year that B and B had somewhat of an "understanding" of Valentine's Day and were able to participate in the holiday. Brody chose dinosaur cards and Brynn chose princess cards to hand out to their classmates. They were so excited when I picked them up from preschool telling me about their day and showing me all of their Valentine's Day cards and candy. They each got a Curious George book from their teachers, which I thought was really nice. After preschool, they were able to play in the snow in the backyard for a while before it melted. They had so much fun! They also got to open their presents from Mom and Dad. Brody got a dinosaur and Brynn got a princess phone set. The day ended with their choice of pizza (pepperoni) from Pizza Hut. They had a great Valentine's Day!

Burr Oak Woods Nature Center

Last Thursday, B and B had a fieldtrip with their preschool class to Burr Oak Woods Nature Center. The fieldtrip started with a discussion about the different seasons and what happens during each season. Then we went for a walk through the woods and looked for animals and talked about all the different kinds of things we find in nature. Lastly, we came inside and looked at the turtles, fish, and snakes on display and played in the activity area. B and B really enjoyed watching the snakes. They also had various other stuffed animals on display. Since the weather was so nice, they were able to have their snacks outside at the picnic tables. It was very interesting to watch B and B interact during the fieldtrip. When we were walking through the woods, Brynn pretty much stayed within the group and was quiet and shy. Brody, on the other hand, was right up front ahead of the rest of the group with the tour guide and taking everything all in! They both had a great time on the field trip and the weather couldn't have been better!
