Week of the Young Child Balloon launch

This week is a nationally recognized week for young children that our Daycare celebrates annually. It's called The Week of the Young Child. Following is an excerpt from the national website:

"The Week of the Young Child™ is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The purpose of the Week of the Young Child™ is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. The 2013 Week of the Young Child™ is April 14–20 and the theme is Early Years Are Learning Years®."

All week long, the boys' daycare is celebrating with special activities for the kids. Today the kiddos had a balloon launch to kick off the week!
Reece behind bars! I hope this does not become a common view for our little buckaroo! Reece & his friends (including his pal Stella, also pictured) have their very own play area on the playground. Their area is fenced-in so that they are not tempted to play on the "Big Kid" toys. I'm thinking Reece was pretty excited to see his Mama!
Garrett & his ladies! He is often the only boy in a room full of girls! But I can see here that his eyes are on the lone green balloon - not the cuties on either side of him!
Reece also got a green balloon! 
Surprisingly, most of the kids in Reece's class held onto their balloons until just before it was time to release them! You can see Reece's buddy, Carsen, with a red balloon! They were Super-Excited!
Garrett is ready to go!
The Release!
There goes Garrett's Green Balloon!

It was very pretty to see the balloons fill the sky!
YAY!
After the balloons were out of sight it was time for juice!
