Setting: In a church one Sunday morning in the infant and toddlers nursery room. I am sitting in the back of the room observing. I watched the parents bring in their kids to drop them off before heading to the main church. There were two adult and three adolescence volunteers in the room to assist with the children. The volunteers who were around 16 were there to help with the toddlers that could talk and walk. The infants that could not walk are carried in and place in mats or buckled chairs. There were around six toddlers and four infants brought to the room. The walking toddlers that have been in the room before run in the class and go straight to their special space or games.

Immediately my attention was caught by these three young children who looked to be around three to four years old. They just walked in the door with their guardians. Two ladies were with them. As soon as they walked in the door, they ran to go play in the bounce house. There were other children in the place already playing everywhere. One of the three children that just walked in went straight to the ladder and climbed it to the top. He looked like he was the oldest. I could say he looked around five years old. He slid down the slide fast to the bottom. The middle looking one looked at him and said I want to do that. The oldest looked at her and said come on, I’ll go with
