Sullivan is the Moultrie County Seat, so we are fortunate to have some county-wide programs offered in town. One such program is the state-funded Bright Starts program, which is run through the Moultrie County Beacon. I just completed the paperwork to enroll Beckett, which means he will get developmental screenings completed by a Child Development Specialist, monthly home visits with assessments and co-planning, and a structured playgroup he can attend twice a week in the center. The playgroup is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but you can "drop in" any other day for playtime, which is what we did this morning. I'm thankful for this resource and Beckett really enjoyed himself today! (We were the only ones there!)

| They have a huge outdoor playground, and what did B find right away? Round and round and round! |
 |
| He went up the steps and found another steering wheel on the second floor. |
 |
| Love. |
 |
| He knows (and can say) eyes, nose, and ears. Mouth is still a little ambiguous. |
 |
| Worm tunnel! |
 |
| There are about 15 little tikes cars, and he went directly to this cool black truck. He LOVED it. |
 |
| Next up was the little blue sports car. |
 |
| And then, back to the truck. |
 |
| He wanted to climb in and out all by himself. |
 |
| This picture belongs in US Weekly right before he smashes the paparazzi's camera. Haha |
 |
| Where's my cooler? |
 |
| Just a little fender bender... |
 |
| This is the playroom inside. |
 |
| You can check out any books or toys for use at home. |
 |
| He loves that kid almost as much as I do. |
 |
| He quickly found the playtable with the farmer and animals. |
 |
| He is saying "MMMMMOOO" here. |
We had a great time and I'm looking forward to working with Kathy in the Bright Starts program.
