Orchards!

Watching babies and toddlers go through the stages of development is exciting. As a parent educator, I go armed with knowledge of early childhood development and the curriculum to share with parents. Even though I know that pulling up on furniture, cruising, and then walking are natural and will take place with or without me, I still can't help but be proud when I experience these moments with parents and the child. Araseli magically began pulling up on everything and cruising everywhere in one week. I think I was more excited than the parents, as if I had something to do with it! As a teacher you don't always see the fruits of your labor but with these "littles", as Lynn calls them, you see orchards! MJ
