It’s hard to believe that nearly a week has gone by since I was in the Emerald Isle. It was wonderful to see old friends again and to make new ones. I am always impressed with the proactivity of parents and with the many creative ways that needs get met. I also really enjoy hearing about the little ones I once worked with who are now not really ‘little ones’ anymore! So many are now in school and gracing those classrooms. And a few will be starting school very soon. Enough of reminiscing……
I made contact with a mom and a little boy who was looking for help with feeding problems and I do not have a contact number for them. Please contact me if this is you.
I also mentioned that I would put up live links to the powerpoint slides. They can be found as follows:
