Great reminder!!!
Important Heat Reminder! Do NOT leave kids or pets in a hot car ever! Temperatures heat up quickly and it becomes very dangerous. This applies to even when the window is open. #wfaaweather
Over 200 activities to do with your 2-5 year old!

Thought I would share this information as I am seeing many of our littles are drinking these drinks instead of plain water!!! Remember water for thirst and always have it available!!!

My children were insistent they could walk, that they didn’t need the sled, however I pulled it anyway.
And initially, they had boundless energy.
They ran through the snow, laughed and chased each other and their laughter was musical.
And even though they didn’t seem to need it, I still pulled the sled.
It felt light and it wasn’t that hard to pull.
After we walked a bit longer, one of my girls tripped and fell. She didn’t hurt herself, but she was upset. She climbed in the sled for a minute and I kept pulling.
But she didn’t need it for long, and she hopped back out.
I was happy I’d brought the sled to help her when she needed a break.
By the later part of our walk, they grew tired. With the fatigue came the emotions and the meltdowns began.
Do you want to climb in the sled? I asked.
They both did.
And I pulled them.
And sometimes we went downhill and it felt easy.
And sometimes we went up hills and it was heavy and hard, and I was sweating and feeling tired.
And when I was sweating and feeling tired, almost resentful about the weight of them, I would stop, pause and breathe.
And sometimes they climbed out, feeling that they didn’t need the sled again, and would walk a little bit more, explore a bit further.
But they always returned to the sled.
And I always kept pulling it.
𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙞𝙨.
We keep pulling the sled of support.
Even when they don’t need it, we are there to help them keep going.
When they do need it, we pull them through.
There are some days it feels light and all downhill, and pulling them, supporting them feels easy.
There are days it is all uphill and pulling them is so hard, and so exhausting.
When we’re tired from their weight and from our own fatigue, we pull them.
So Mama, if your sled feels heavy today, pause and breathe.
You are working hard. This job isn’t easy.
There will be days when they won’t need you to pull them, and it will get easier.

CDC and partners continue to investigate the source of a Listeria outbreak linked to deli meat. If you are pregnant, aged 65 years or older, or have a weakened immune system, CDC always advises that you avoid eating deli meat unless it’s heated to an internal temperature of 165°F or until steaming hot just before serving. Because deli meats can have Listeria bacteria, CDC advises this even when there are no ongoing outbreaks. https://go.usa.gov/x7gcp.
