A Fun Week

Well, we've had a super fun week here at Monarch Kids. We went on a field trip on Wednesday to Anderson Farms in Erie, CO - super fun!!!! It was a gorgeous day and the kids had a blast. We joined up with some other providers and their kids and spent most of the day there. My little girl absolutely loved the dirt in the pumpkin patch - yuck! We also got to go on a wagon ride out to the patch, hay maze, corn maze, barrel rides, feeding buffalo, and we saw a 3-week old goat. Super cute! The kids were absolutely beat by the end of the day but it was worth it.

Yesterday, one of the other kids in my child care had his first birthday! A big day for him for sure. And he's started to say the word "kitty" when he sees our cat. Or if I ask him where the kitty is, he really looks around and tries to find her. He usually looks outside because that's often where she is. I just love this stage of their lives when they're really starting to discover and explore their surroundings. He loves to walk (falls quite a bit but he's getting there!), play with all the tupperware in the kitchen, tackle the pillows... So much fun!

Today after naps we're planning on packing our lunch and having a play date with some other kids at the park. We've got to take advantage of this beautiful weather while we can.

Take care everyone and thanks for reading!
