Bedtime Story

Bug and Mommy started reading Charlotte's Web together at bedtime. Bug has been listening very intently and surprisingly really enjoys reading a chapter each night. The next chapter Wilber the pig will meet the spider! What a patient lil bug :)


The wonderful world of wiggly worms!

Bug took on a fun adventure at the Dawes Arboretum in Newark, Ohio. They offered a wonderful worm program that was fun and very hands on! The program started off explaining how useful worms are to us by turning decay into soil. What great recyclers! The children were able to pick out worms and view them with magnifying glasses and microscopes. Then came the icky gooey part!! Bug then went digging in the soil for worms! It was so surprising that she was ok with picking out the worms with her bare fingers and even found it fun! What an amazing girl!!

This week...

This week Bug is working on the letter H and the number 1. She is doing great recognizing the letter H because it is in her name. Right now she can recognize the letter H,O and X. She can count to 16. This week her favorite book from the library is Peanut Butter and Jellyfishes by Brian P. Cleary. The illustrations are so colorful and she loves how silly it is. Bug and Mommy are also working on some St.Patricks day crafts this week and we will be sure to post them later.

Fun at COSI


Mommy, Daddy and Bug took a trip to COSI this weekend and met up with some long missed friends. Bug really enjoyed playing with Lucy Lu (not her real name). Hailey really looks up to Lucy since she is older and followed her in whatever Lucy did. Bug said her favorite part of COSI was playing with the drum with a heart in it. Not sure of what she is talking about?? Mommy thought Bug had the most fun playing with the water and also in the baby doll doctor's office. Bug is such a fun and happy child that the whole day was exciting for her. She has no inhibitions and is a very assertive child when it comes to making friends. After COSI we went to the Spaghetti Warehouse with our friends for dinner. The wait was long but the food was so yummy! Bug of course was so tired on the way home she snoozed off from the long fun day.



Bug enjoyed using the tools like Daddy and fixing the house.

Bug and Daddy were putting in screws but not really sure what metal "finkerdinker"(Bug's term) they were building

Bug loves water play!! She played at this water station and also loved the ocean exhibit.









Little Sally Walker

This morning Bug started singing and dancing to this super cute song. She had learned it from cheer camp and this is the first time Mommy had ever heard of it. Watch the video and see how cute she is gettin down.

Happy Valentine's Day!


Bug had a fun Valentine's celebration. She had fun making valentines for all her grandmas, grandpas and friends at school. On Thursday before Valentine's day, her preschool class had a Valentine's party. Bug was very excited to pass out her valentines and of course getting candy! She also liked looking in the mailbox each day for valentines. On Valentines day, Bug got balloons, heart earrings, stickers, a stuffed ladybug and a longaberger heart totebag. I think Mommy & Daddy go a bit overboard but they can't help it. Bug is just so special!



Biddy Cheer Camp



This week Bug went to cheer camp. The Biddy Cheer Camp was a fundraiser for the High School cheer team. She really looked up to the older cheerleaders from the high school who were the leaders of the camp. Hailey jumped right in and had a fun time with all the other girls. Friday night, the camp cheered at halftime of the JV basketball game. Hailey cheered loud and had a good time.


This was the only video that we took that had sound. She also had a dance routine and another cheer.
