Back from Xmas already!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas break! It's hard to believe that it has came and gone already! During Christmas break, we will not be doing many preschool worksheets. It gives everyone a well needed break! Preschool will resume Jan. 4th. We will be working on winter fun, E, & F, blue, purple, and triangles. We continue to work on our songs. Everyone is learning "If your Happy and You know it" and "5 little Monkeys". These continue to be their favs... Everyone had a great time learning "Rudolph" with their reindeer puppets even if the song was a little hard. Now with the cold upon us, the kids have enjoyed playing parachute inside and riding the bikes through the house and garage!
I will be working on reciepts for 2009 this weekend. Please let me know if you have not already if you would like one.
Thanks to everyone for participating in the gift exchange. It's really fun for the kids to give their friends a gift. It brings out the true meaning of Christmas. Thank-you to everyone for all the gifts for Melissa and I. They were so thoughtful! I hope everyone enjoyed their ornaments from us. They will be a great memory to look back on as the kids grow.
Remember Daycare will be closing at 4:30 on New Year's eve and reopen on Monday the 4th. If you normally on Friday please pay on Thursday, since the banks will be closed on Friday. Checks need to be able to be deposited on Thursday. This is the routine we follow anytime daycare is closed on a Friday.
Please send wipes for January next week
DAYCARE WILL BE CLOSED ON JANUARY 29TH. I WILL BE USING THIS AS A PERSONAL PAID DAY THAT I HAVE PER CONTRACT.

This weekend must have been a busy weekend for everyone. Everyone was alittle touchy this morning. Lots of little teeth were on the lose. We will keep working on this problem by separating kids when we are not in the room, time-out, redirection, and positive reinforcement.
Wednesday night I will be taking Ashley to the counsler in N.Liberty in preperation for Monday. Remember as of now, we will be closed on Monday for trial.
I have a bucket of boots and snowpants for people to use if they would like. Just let me know if you would like to look at them.
I am starting to gather a few socks. If you are missing socks just let me know and you can look through the basket. Another thing that I have found helpful when I have alot of kids that are the same age is to put initials on the bottoms of their socks.
We have been working hard on filling our room with lots of homemade xmas decorations. The kids are also working on saying Ho Ho Ho... Hopefully by xmas they will all be able to say Ho Ho Ho on command by xmas eve. :)
Thanks to everyone that brought wipes!
We will be open during bad weather. However please plan accordingly to leave yourself enough time to arrive at daycare before closing. If the power went out children would need to be picked up.
We will be doing our drawing Tuesday. The gift should be $10. We will have our holiday party on the 23rd.

We just got back from the Playstation! Everyone had a great time. What a perfect day to go too... Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We are thankful to have all of you in our lives. Cedar Rapids was a hard move, but great families like yours have made the transition easier!
Please send in December wipes sometime in the next week.
I normally do a gift exchange with the kids for $10. We will have a Xmas party on the 23rd. and exchange gifts then. If anyone wishes to not be included in the gift exchange please let me know. We will draw names next Friday.
Pictures of the Playstation are on their way! Battery is low so it's charging.

1 thing I forgot to tell you is that I will be gone this afternoon. (Hopefully be back around 5) Had to take Hillary to Dr. Melissa has details if needed. We had a good morning of preschool, a walk, and playing outside. After lunch we celebrated Taitumn's bday. Everyone loved the cake!

Thanksgiving Week
Thanks for everyone that came to Taitumn's bday! I really enjoyed getting to spend time with everyone outside of daycare. We will be having cake and ice cream today for Taitumn's daycare party. Be prepared if our house is alittle crazy this week. It tends to be like that when the girls are home during the holidays. The little kids love having the girls home, but I am always excited for school to start back up.
We will be finishing up our turkey preschool and getting ready for winter things.(even though it don't seem like winter)
Remember: Daycare is closed Thursday and Friday. If you pay on Friday's please make sure you pay by the end of Wednesday.
Also... Saturday I got a letter from the district attorney regarding Ashley and a depostion. We have not recieved word on when it will be, but the letter read that it will be as little as a few days notice with a telephone call. I will let you know if I need to be closed that day. The trial is now scheduled for Dec. 14 at 9 am. I will need to be closed that day. If it gets rescheduled I will let everyone know asap. I know this is a hassle and I am sorry for that. Please understand that I would much rather be doing daycare than going to this. I will keep everyone updated. Please keep Ashley in your prayers as she faces these hard challenges and that she will find the strength to help put this criminal were he belongs. <3

REMINDER: DAYCARE WILL BE CLOSED NEXT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.
Feel free to take your child's turkey off the wall to display at home. They are so cute, we want you to enjoy them 2!
Currently we have a few biters! YIKES!! I have a hand out about biting. It's a very common thing for 2yr.s olds. They bite when they are tired, stressed, getting new teeth, and when they are fighting with friends over toys or even attention. I will continue to remove them from the situation, tell them that teeth are not for bitting and apoligize to there friend. I will try as much as possible to keep biters close at hand, but with as many as I have right now, it will be impossible to catch all of the bites. I also will notify you if your child bites or got bit.
We have been working really hard on "If your Happy and You know it". If you get a chance sing it with your child and they should "sing" along.
Melissa has given her 2 weeks at the hospital. She will get to be home with us all the time. Yeah!! It will be nice to have the extra hands and company. Please feel free to talk to Melissa or I about anything. I think everyone will be happy with 2 providers for the price of 1.
Monday evening I will not be home for pick-ups. I need to take Hillary to the phycologist in Iowa City at 2:45. I think I will miss most of you. If there is anything that you need to tell me, just let Melissa know.
I hope to see you all at Taitumn's Bday! We are so excited to celebrate this day with all our new families and friends in C.R. It will be fun to hang-out not on daycare time.
Does anyone have a card table and chairs I could borrow for Sunday??

So it's been a minute....
Sorry it's been a minute since I have updated this. With everything last week I just have been busy. Glad to say, everything is fine at our house. I am just going to pretend like last week didn't happen. :)
Everyone is back and healthy at the moment! I know that some kids have had to be gone from daycare for awhile, but it is part of the winter season. Over the last 12 yrs. I have done daycare, October to March are always sick months. It never seems like the summer "Healthy" months last long enough. Remember, that when your child is not here payment is still expected to hold your spot.
Please send wipes for the month of November if you have not already brought some. If you can't remember just check the board when you pick up. I have a list on there. I will also keep the board up to date , in case I don't get on the computer in time. It's amazing how time flies over here with all these little boys!
I will keep it updated on the board what we will be working on for preschool.
The rest of the month we will be working on Letter B, Color Red, Shape Triangle, and finishing up fall activities. We will continue to have Preschool Mon., Wed, Fri,
Reminder Daycare will be closed on Thanksgiving and the day after. Payment for that normal Friday will need to be made on Wednesday morning.
Hope you all have a great day! We will be going outside as soon as everyone gets here! Yeah....

Pneumonia
Last night Tanya (kaden's mom) called to let me know that Kaden will not be here for the rest of the week for sure. He has pneumonia. Kaden had a fever seizure and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. He is doing o.k. and is on antibiotics.
Here's some info I have found..
.Is pneumonia contagious?
People often ask, is pneumonia contagious? Will we catch the infection if we come in contact with an infected person? Pneumonia is a life-threatening infection of lungs. However, pneumonia itself is not a contagious disease. But bacteria and viruses that cause pneumonia can be contagious. People when exposed to infection may catch the symptoms of normal cough and cold symptoms. It is not necessary that each person, exposed to cold virus or bacteria, develops pneumonia. It depends on the susceptibility and immunity of that individual. Transmission of infection may occur due to direct exposure to infectious secretions.Signs and Symptoms of Pneumonia
In most cases, people have the symptoms of cold before developing pneumonia. It is followed by high fever, cough and shaking chills. Severity of symptoms varies according to the causes and age of the patient. Chest pain is the most common symptom in most types of pneumonia.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Pneumonia
Diagnosis of pneumonia is based on the physical examination, imaging tests such as X-ray, bronchoscopy and certain laboratory investigations such as sputum examination and blood tests such as white blood cell count.
Treatment option for pneumonia is decided depending upon the cause of pneumonia. Pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics, antiviral medications, antifungal medications, etc. Some over-the-counter medications are also recommended to treat pain, reduce fever and soothe the cough.

Tuesday 10-27-09 Health Update
Update on sickness around our house. Taitumn is still fever free. He has a cough and is a little clingy but other than that he is fine. The girls will all be at school tomorrow. Thank goodness! Melissa will be home for the rest of the week. Yeah! I am still fine. Today Braydin got sick. That leaves only Rowen and Connar that have yet to be sick! Hopefully they will stay healthy.

Monday October 26th.
So... The flu is back. Taitumn and my girls were sick over the weekend. Taitumn needed to go to the ER. Sunday Landon got sick and had to go to the ER and today I sent Nicholas home with a fever. Children need to stay home for 24 hrs. fever free. Taitumn has not ran a fever today and was kept away from the kids that were here today. I have also bleached and sanitized our playroom. Typical symptoms the kids have been having are : runny nose, fever, body aches, and cough. The hospitals are not checking for H1N1 unless you are needing to be hospitalized. They are pretty much just saying you have a "flu like" virus.

Ashley has been fever free for over 30 hrs. I started to get sick but never got a fever. Today I feel fine. So far no one else has been sick. I think everyone would be safe to come on Monday. I will now be open Monday.
