Barbara over at TherExtras posed a question on her blog last week asking:
How have you arranged your home
to enhance your child’s development?
This question immediately had me thinking of my Elisabeth. Her development is severely delayed due to brain damage and we are completely dedicated to helping her reach her fullest potential.
So how have I arranged my home to help enhance her development? Here is my answer:
*********************************************
Three little beds are arranged all together.
Close.
Safe.
Close.
Safe.
Three little girls get tucked into those little beds.
Hugs.
Kisses.
Hugs.
Kisses.
One baby girl listens to her big sisters
whisper back and forth in the dark.
Excitement.
Giggles.
Excitement.
Giggles.
And then she drifts off to sleep knowing that she's not alone....
that she's never alone....
that she is always surrounded by her family....
that her big sisters will keep her close and keep her safe.
What could be better for a child's
development than a sense of security
and the feeling of love?
