This brought up the question, "How does it do that?" "Why does the water stay inside?" "What happened to it all?" So of course we ripped the diapers open to discover the silica inside. It surprised us that it looked and felt like snow! So we ripped open all of our diapers and put the cool, gooey contents into a bucket and took it outside to explore further.
We continued to enjoy the marble run, birthday cakes, and baby play today. We participated in a rather unusual experiment this morning. We dissected diapers! The children were challenged with trying to see how much water would an average diaper hold without leaking. We began with our pipettes. Dropping a few drops at a time and then turning the diaper upside down to see if the water was trapped or if the diaper would leak. Then we moved on to bigger droppers which hold more water. Still no leaking. Next, a few of us poured our whole cup of water into the diaper. Amazed there were still at no leaks. Finally, we poured whole containers of water into the diapers and were astonished that the diapers held every drop! This brought up the question, "How does it do that?" "Why does the water stay inside?" "What happened to it all?" So of course we ripped the diapers open to discover the silica inside. It surprised us that it looked and felt like snow! So we ripped open all of our diapers and put the cool, gooey contents into a bucket and took it outside to explore further. We finished out 2020 with a birthday party for Jesus! Thank you to the hosts of our party! The children had a wonderful time and loved it all! Thank you to all of you for the sweet gifts and heartfelt words. It is truly my pleasure and honor to work with these amazing children each week. Thank you for sharing your children with me. I am looking forward to 2021 and the exciting new challenges it will bring. Have a Happy and Blessed Christmas and New Year.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
