This week we got to play with many things that toddlers play with. We learned how they play. We also learned what skills these toys develop. Something as simple as playing with shaving cream can develop a lot for a child. They work on many skills when they play.

This week we made infant learning environments. It was amazing to see how much stuff they need. I can't believe that there is only two teachers assigned to eleven infants. It must be crazy watching so many kids. Infant centers must be really expensive to make. It is very interesting to learn about what goes into childcare.

This week we made lesson plans for infants. I had no idea how much goes into planning a lesson for infants. Each activity must be age appropriate and go with a theme. Activities must also teach the children something like sensory skills or fine motor skills. It taught me a lot about teaching infants.

Last weekend I got to take home one of the realcare babies. It taught me a lot about what parenting an infant is really like. My baby wasn't that bad. I was only woken up around once a night. My baby was very low maintenance. It was nothing near what I had expected my baby to act like, I was expecting a lot more crying. This project really taught me a lot.

This week we finished up our flour baby project. This project taught me so much about what it's like to have a baby. It got very tiring carrying the baby around everywhere I went. I was constantly worried that someone would hurt my flour baby. It is hard work being a mom to a flour baby let alone a real baby. Despite everything little Mia Marie mad it through the week just fine. I am so grateful for this class and all it has taught me so far.
