Just 10 minutes! Give this fun sensory game a try - it will help you connect with your littles AND the focus will help calm them. It's a win/win!

In just ten minutes, you and your child can play a gamed called "The Five Senses."

Take turns telling something you hear, see, smell, taste, and touch. You can do this in the car, on a walk, at the dinner table, or anytime you have an opportunity for relaxed conversation. It’s a fun exercise that highlights our world of sensory experiences, and is calming for all.

This sweet boy, Liam, graduated from our MCH program today! He is already walking everywhere and aside from being super cute, he is also super smart! He received the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar quilt/book made for us by those special ladies from The Walnut Valley Quilters Guild and Field to Fabric Quilt Company. His mom just loved the quilt and Liam couldn't wait to dive right in and add to his literary repertoire!

Another MCH graduate yesterday! Meet Beckett! He is a super cute, super busy little guy. Speaking of "busy" Beckett is an Old English name of Irish Origin meaning "beehive or bee shelter". He is as busy as a bee for sure! I see him following the path of a Rogers Beckett that played NCAA football & was drafted by the San Diego Chargers! This kid is quick! His mom chose another adorable quilt made by the Walnut Valley Quilters Guild.

Prenatal care is so important. If you know anyone putting off going to an OB Doctor due to lack of health insurance - have them call us! We can help with that. 620-221-1430 or 620-442-3260.

Getting early, regular prenatal care is one of the most important things you can do for you and your baby. Regular health care visits can reduce your risk of having your baby prematurely, which can have long-term impacts on your baby's health and wellness. 🤰
