FALL DAYS, BUILDING RAMPS, HAMMOCK RIDES

It's officially fall and we have been enjoying even more time outside.
These photos were taken last Thursday when we worked very hard to build ramps for little cars. Lots of time was spent in the hammock as well and you can tell that Roman is quite happy there. The children like the soothing motion of the swing and being able to lean back under the trees to look at all the leaves and the sky.
Today we had oatmeal for snack at 10, peas & brown rice for lunch, and carrots, pita bread, & hummus after nap.
We sang "The leaves are green, the apples are red, they hang so high above my head. Leave them alone 'til the frosty weather, and they'll all come down together"
Ring Around the Rosy is a favorite circle time song presently and we add two more verses after the first...." The cows are in the meadow eating buttercups. Ashes, ashes, we all stand up"
"The birdy's in the steeple, singing to the people. Ashes, ashes, they fly, fly away" and we all fly around the room or outside flapping our wings like little birds and sometimes waving colored silks around the air...or other precious faces...and then playing peek-a-boo.
I hope you all received the flyer about Richard Louv coming to speak at the Expo Center. If you don't already have his book, The Last Child in the Woods, I would highly recommend it.
Also, if you notice books, flyers, articles, etc. in your child's diaper bags...they are always for you to keep and just my way of sharing wonderful information that I have found helpful or inspiring and hope you can enjoy as well.
