While that story was about a 21 year old woman, I wonder if a simi lar story would have been written with the same depth of awe of hu man resiliency if it had been about a 21 month old infant. Why is it that on the whole, we as family and friends of infants and toddlers neglect to see the great ef forts put forth by children to attain the skills so many take for granted? Through a generous gift, our Infant/Toddler program recently obtained some wonderful indoor equipment for tiie enjoyment of the children, which they crawl up and jun^downftom and wiggle througji gleefully. They are also practicing skills whicharedevekpmentalbuild- ing blocks. This wonderful indoor jungle gym is especially appreciated Infant Toddler children enjoy the new equipment. as the strong Southern sun beats down in the afternoon just as the little people are moving into one of their high-eneigy times of the day. The joy of just being free to ex- pbre and discover new tilings about themselves and share play time with children of the same age is a won derful thing for all of the partici pants of our program. I wish everyone could see our children in their shining moments of accom plishment Whata fabulous way to spend your day, learning through play! While they are working harder than most adults, they are having a great time, too! Maypeacjeandlovebewitheadi of you. New Fitness Programs Check it Out!
