What do all of these different languages and sounds sound like to you, little one?

Look at all of the colors on these doughnuts! Are you confused or fascinated, little one? Are you pointing at and wondering about their shapes?

Here is your bare foot on the grass. How does the grass feel? Do you approve of how it feels?

Through your eyes, there is probably so much to see and take in!

Do you wonder why the trees don’t walk like people?

You are probably overwhelmed by the sight of the squirrels, dogs (and their walkers), cats, rabbits, pigeons and even turkeys.

Do you notice windows opening and the people behind them? And the doors closing?

I wonder if you feel okay coming upon so many boxes, huge stores, lengthy sidewalks, and all the food options.

There is so much to learn that I hope that I don’t tire you out introducing you to these things.

I have to be patient and give you a lot of time to digest what you sense and to really learn what’s around you.

Are you warm enough? What are you most eager to know about? What around here attracts you the most?

What you see and how you feel is so important to me.

Little one, I do the best I can to find out who you are because who you are is precious to me.

Please feel free to email me: debbie.barrygoode@gmail.com

Have a wonderful day.
