I was in the infant/toddler side today. I was hobbling and playing with the little ones. It is always a good time. However this year the younger side doesn’t talk much. Last year’s talkers moved to the older side. This is also the first time I have been on the I/T side this year, I think…. There is one little girl J who has a hard time letting her mom drop her off, it is sad to watch. however if we can distract her right away she is fine and will play all day. She especially loves to be outside and swing. Anyhow, today she looked like she was going to cry, so I asked her, “J are you having a good day?” With the look of a cry on her face, and nodding, she replied with a slow, “Y…e..a…h….” And that was the last of the fussy face. She got down and started smiling and playing. Seems she just needed some one to acknowledge her and suggest something pleasant.
