Sitting

It’s about 82 degrees on this beautiful morning in Fort Myers it’s approximately 9:15. We have been here for about 8 days now, I just got out of bed and walked to the porch where I love sitting and eating breakfast and listening to the waves coming in and out. I sit on the chair and realize there is a sharp pain in my foot…… I look down at my foot and realize that my foot is like 2 times its size without thinking I scream and my mom and grandma come running. They open the sliding door and ask…

From the moment infants are born, they go through continuous stages of transitional periods that are detrimental to their development. Remarkably, In just under 2 years infants go from sitting up, to crawling, and finally walking all on their own. There are a number of elements to explore when reflecting upon this stage such as: how walking is developed, when it might occur and how to recognize the signs, the issues and challenges involved for the child or caregiver, and lastly, research…

up the stairs in the commons, a feeling of anxiety grew stronger for some reason. I opened Mr. Puma’s classroom door, entering the room for the first time in my life. There, in the upper right corner of the room from the door’s view, was Mr. Puma, sitting at a desk with his head facing papers. As I walked, it was almost as if I was forcing myself to keep moving, as I figured I was already this far. Passing desks and people, I heard mumbles and conversations I couldn’t quite make out. Stepping up…

The Little Things “Mom what’s a pillow fort?” I looked at my Mom sitting on the couch next to me,”Allison you don’t know what a pillow fort is?” She looked at me smiling and said,”We’re gonna build one ok? Lemme me move the couches…” I remember at that moment being so excited, just thinking “Wow! I’m going to have my own fort!” I ran around the house helping my mom get all the blankets and pillows needed for my little sanctuary. When it was all said and done it looked a lot worse than I had…

school. It is important to remember that this does not just impact children. Adults are also lacking empathy by using technology to hide behind instead of dealing with anything face to face. Both parents and kids are guilty of this- they may all be sitting in the same room together, but they are all on different devices not paying attention to each other. Turkle refers to Erik Erikson’s idea that parents need to build a basic trust as a building block for all development (2015, p. 113). If…

In front of me a kid wasn't just saying it, he was screaming at the top of his lungs. Voices whispered, “ what's wrong with him”, “ He is so annoying”Then the girl sitting next to me whispered,“ You should so pull his chair out from under him when he sits down.” I said ” ok, this will be so funny.” The person in front of me slowly went to sit, so I yanked the chair away before he sat down. His body went crashing down…

It doesn’t mean that everyone is my friend or that I agree with everything the person does, but I let them be who they are. It doesn’t mean that if I don’t agree with someone then I’ll try to change them, but it’ll show me their true colors. Sitting with someone who is alone at lunch or just spending some time to ask how someone’s day is doing, can really make the person feel welcomed and alone. You might’ve just made a new friend, like me when I just showed someone how to get to the cafeteria…

It’s September 18th, 2016, and my nana and I are both sitting on my bed in which the sheets were still removed from getting washed earlier that day. She has short hair as dark as chocolate, and brown, loving eyes with circular gold frames around them that watched me as I prepared my questions. She had her signature coral lipstick on that she always wore so well. It’s an overcast, yet mildly warm day with the kind of clouds that are a smokey gray with a dash of sunlight emerging from behind them.…
