“May the first birthday of your life mark the firsts of many good things to come”- unknown


CJP wants to wish our dear Maddison and Ella a very happy birthday!!! 

So many firsts we have lived. It’s so exciting to see us grow everyday, learning new things and expressing our needs and wants so well.

This week, we started learning about face parts. There are pictures of our own “eyes” “nose” “mouth” and even our “tongue” we have modified the famous song “if you’re happy and you know it” We have incorporated our new vocabulary words and we point at them as we sing.

Oh the beautiful, sunny and cool weather this week allowed us to enjoy some fun in the sun. We kicked off our shoes and felt the dry, warm sand on our bare feet. But that’s not all we enjoyed, we also enjoyed several rides around the dirt road in a big-kid trike!!! While we sang: “ here we go ‘round the big dusty road” we also got to see the beautiful plants that our older friends have planted. We saw a basil plant blooming, amongst other fresh, green plants. Our temptation to pull them out was strong but looking at them from up close sufficed.

During our frequent visits to our peach friends’ class, we have seen how much fun they have painting. Well, we had our own version of “ painting “ we invite you to come to our classroom to see our masterpiece hung on the wall. Don’t worry mommy, it’s “mess-free painting”

Our mystery box has been put away-for now. We have the discovery bottle from last week that continues to fascinate us. We use it as a rattle, we roll it and bang it on the floor. We added colorful strings to it. Good conversation piece!

To many more enjoyable years with the girls! Cheers 🥂!!!!
