Our Roots of Empathy this week was a visit  from Baby Allie. She has grown and is able to do much more. Today she was sitting up straight and playing with her toys. She was able to take the toys out of a plastic case. She wasn’t able to reach the last one at first, but she didn’t give up… she tried all sorts of things and finally she got the last toy. She also played with some balls which she liked banging together then rolling. When we sang for her she clapped her hands and laughed! She is able to do so much more now! The next milestone she has to reach is standing on her own and walking. She can stand just now, but needs Mum’s help. It is fun and really interesting to watch Allie grow and develop, she is teaching us so much!
