Way to Go H2O!

Wow Summer is really here and we are feeling the heat!  The children have loved playing in the water so we thought we would share some photos of your children with you.  While playing in the water the children are learning through their senses as they splash the cool, wet water and also they may sneak a sip to taste.  With cups, bowls and watering cans the children explore the properties of the water and as they tip and pour they are too learning concepts of weight an volume which can be used in may aspects of other play.  Water is a great learning experience for the children an so much fun to play in.  We will continue to have the water out over the summer and will watch the children learning alongside each other, building trust and confidence around water too.  Time to get the sprinkler out again!!

On His Own 2 Feet!

Over the last week or two Aiden has been looking like he is about to stand.  Aiden has been using his arms and elbows to pull himself up onto our lower shelves.  He succeeds and can now get up onto his knees and pull everything down off the shelves. 

Today in the sleep room as I was putting him to sleep, I turned my back and saw this.  Aiden had pulled himself up to stand and then so proud of himself he began jumping up and down in his bed.  So cute but wrong timing Aiden you were supposed to be sleeping!!  Funny enough right as I am writing this Aiden has pulled himself up to stand at one of our toy shelves!!  What a surprise.  He is away now and it wont be long till he is confident to start stepping around the furniture.
