Let’s Play Ball

LET’S PLAY BALL | Recently, Titus got to enjoy some baseball and cheer on the Greensboro Grasshoppers! He was thrilled watching the players dash around the bases and score home runs. But the highlight of his day was when he met Guily and hit his own home run in the joy department!

Explore Through Movement and Play is so essential for toddlers! We make it a point to let Titus take the lead, allowing him to figure things out on his own and use his imagination to its fullest.
We spend time outdoors, but it’s amazing how often simple household objects can captivate him.

Titus has recently developed a fascination with turning lights on and off. No matter if I’ve just switched them on, he’ll come right behind me and flick them off. We’ve turned this into a playful game, making it fun while also explaining the importance of light.

Titus also loves using empty paper towel holders as a microphone, putting on little shows for us.

We provide him with coloring sheets and crayons, encouraging him to create his own masterpieces.

And sometimes, we just turn on some music and let him dance away, getting all his wiggles out.
