Ah, Spring! The time of year when a young infant’s fancy turns to thoughts of . . .
Coughing, Sneezing, Runny Nose, Goopy Eyes, High Fever, Sore Ears
. . . and the accompanying unpleasant unmentionables.
Yes, we’ve had our share of the ick pass through the Infant Room the past couple of weeks, but that doesn’t seem to stop our little ones!
Our Insider on the Floor files this report:
Maggie is a Mover! She’s been rolling around quite a bit, and now she’s starting to army-crawl. She does a great job sitting up without a positioner, as well.
Luke is such a smiler and has a charming laugh. He and Susan enjoyed a joke together at the changing table the other day.
Jackie is having great fun on the south side of the room. She is gorgeous in a flowery shirt and polka-dotted pants, and lovely hair is really coming in!
Elise and Conor worked together to solve the mystery of how the plastic rings fit on the stand. They were really concentrating! Elise is also having fun playing in the positioners.
Maja enjoys imitating people coughing. She’s taking a few steps with help and moving to music!
Polly is engaging with her friends on the south side of the room and practicing naps. She has the biggest eyes!
Our Ada is preparing to transition to the Young Toddler room. She’ll be quite a success!
Olivia is sitting up and taking a few little steps with help. She’s nearly ready to move over to the south side of the room.
Albert is enjoying his friends and toys on the south side of the room. He was spotted the other day trying to help Conor with his bottle!
Thank you, Teachers, for helping us through the ick these past couple of weeks! Theresia, we hope your tendonitis gets better soon. Theresia says the kids are more interested in the laces of her tennis shoe than the orthopedic boot!
That’s all the news that fits! ‘Til next time . . .

The Infant Room Insider 3.16.07
Welcome to the first edition of the Infant Room Insider.
This week in the Infant Room, we had our pictures taken! We're all amazingly cute in everyday life, but just mention the words "photo shoot" and we're gorgeous, dahling! We had a lot of fun taking pictures and we're excited to see the prints in a few weeks.
Our Insider on the Floor files this report:
On the north side of the room, our new friends Milo, Ben, and Josie are enjoying rolling around, batting things in bouncy seats, and chillin' in the swings. Music and cuddles are what these beautiful babies are all about.
Olivia was spotted looking elegant in fabulous sweater sets this week. She's sitting up with support like a pro and can even sit without support for a few minutes with a teacher to spot her!
On the south side of the room, Albert was visiting and enjoying some fun with the older kids.
Elise was spotted walking with only one of Mommy's hands to support her! Elise is making lots of sounds and calls for her friend Ada. She's giving the cat at home something to worry about.
Ada can be seen cruising the room at an amazing speed. She has mastered the art of giving and receiving, and she even says the word, "Yes!" You always know when Ada wants a hug, as she holds her arms a certain way. Our Ada is now 1 year old!
Conor is crawling!! Last Friday, he was putting it together at school by making a run at his bottle. Now there's no stopping him!
Jackie, Luke, and Polly are working on crawling and standing. Jackie was spotted standing at the toy table and holding on as if she's done it all her life.
Maja has mastered the pincer grasp and can sit in a high chair for an hour as long as there's finger food. She's waving and pointing at everybody! Maja and her friend Elise had fun frolicking in the pool on Tuesday.
We thank our Infant Room teachers for a wonderful week -- Picture Day was very busy for them. We missed Theresia for a couple of days but we're glad she's back. We wish the best to Pattie as her daughter recovers from having her wisdom teeth out. Susan and Dina, thanks for holding down the fort and being so great to work and be with.
Sadly, we have to say goodbye to Meredith. The youngsters took to her like ducks to water, but as Meredith says, "It's time for a new adventure." She's excited about the idea of traveling. Who knows, but you may meet Meredith in Ireland someday if your luck is in! Good luck, Meredith, and keep in touch!
That's it for this edition of the Infant Room Insider! If you have a scoop for the next edition, please feel free to post it in the comments. Enjoy!

Particulars of Picture Day
School Picture Day . . . brings back so many memories! Being a newbie at CCC, I wasn't sure what to expect on Picture Day for my infant daughter, so I grabbed Peggy for an e-mail chat. She gave me the scoop on what are probably some frequently asked questions for newbies like me. Here's what I found out:
Q: Do I need to be there when pictures are being taken?
A: It's not necessary for parents to be present at picture time.
Q: Where do I turn in my photo order envelope?
A: You can give it to one of the teachers, or put it with your baby's chart and a teacher will make sure it gets to the right place.
Q: (Super Important) What should my baby wear?
A: Whatever you like. If you'd like to bring a nicer outfit for your baby to be changed into, just let the teachers know.
Q: I see an option for "class photo" on the envelope. Does that apply to the infants, as well?
A: Yep -- we'll be doing class photos with each side of the infant room and their teachers. Challenging, but fun!
I hope this is helpful for all of you first-timers out there. I'll be posting more infant news to the blog, soon, so if you have ideas for content you'd like to see, please let me know. You can reach me through comments on this blog, or you can leave me a note on Maja's chart if I don't see you in the infant room.
Have a great week!
