Our two little babies made their debut a little ahead of schedule!

Please welcome Clara Joy and Aurelia Hope. 🥰 Born 10/28/24, 9:02 PM and 9:28 PM.

Since they arrived early, they still have a little time in the NICU ahead of them, but both girls are healthy and growing stronger every day.

Big sister Elaine is beside herself with excitement that her two little sisters are here. And daddy David is thrilled to have two more sweet cherubs to adore.

And as for mama? I'm tired as any parent of newborns would be 😂, but thankfully recovering quickly from the birth. I'm settling into the new rhythm of making milk around the clock for TWO babies and participating in their special care routines while they're at the hospital. I am so, so blessed to have a HUGE village supporting our family right now and making it possible for me to be with the babies 24/7.

The addition of two tiny preemies to our family is a bit of a curveball we weren't expecting, but frankly we're thrilled that the babies are here for us to hold and love. We can't wait for you to meet them soon. 🥰

The best part about Parent & Me Art?

You get to reap the brain-building benefits of process art and sensory play for your child, without having to scrub paint off your living room walls. Plus, you get the strategies you'll need to maximize those benefits.

At each class, you'll explore a themed art experience inspired by a children's book or the works of a real-life artist — complete with group sensory play, a process art project, and creative fine motor activities. In our next art series, we're exploring art themed around winter fun! We'll explore wintery folktales, tales of winter friendship, and even learn about some snow-loving creatures. ❄️⛄️🌲

Join us for a free class on November 2nd. Come explore the fascinating world of snow, ice, and everything nice through art with us. Save your spot at www.playfulpoppies.com or at the link in our bio!

Next at Parent & Me Literacy, we'll be exploring celebrations! From birthdays to weddings, Hannukah to Chinese New Year, and everything in between! 🥳️🕎🐉

Imagine laughing your way through child-led vocabulary activities, introducing your child to letter sounds through play-based pre-reading games, and smiling as you dabble together in engaging process art.

You get to follow your child's interests as they grow their mind and cultivate curiosity. To top it all off, the class is packed with tools to help YOU become a confident literacy partner for your child. Come check it out at a free class on October 28th!

This play-based class WON'T teach your child to read, but it WILL help your little one grow their love of literacy while building critical pre-reading and early writing skills. Save your spot at www.playfulpoppies.com or at the link in our bio!

A little peek at one of the many fun projects we've been having in Art class lately: painting hanging butterflies!

Besides the novelty and challenge of painting on a suspended canvas, did you know that painting on a vertical surface improves motor planning, hones concentration, develops spatial awareness, and builds shoulder strength and stability?

Plus, it's just plain fun! 😍

What are you painting this week?
