Roots of Empathy-Part 1

Asher is in this program at the neighbourhood school where once a month, I take him in to visit a classroom of 1st & 2nd graders. He lays on a big blanket while the kids sit all around him and observe how he changes, develops, grows. The kids love it and are always so excited on the day he visits. Asher loves it because he loves being around people and children tend to be more expressive than adults. It's really cool.

In the two pictures above, Michelle, the instructor, was demonstrating how hard it is for a baby to hold his head up. Asher has a very strong neck though and seemed to really like this position!

Michelle was showing the difference in Asher's interest of black/white verses colour. There was also a panel with a mirror. He really locked into that one - saw how handsome he was and couldn't take his eyes off!
