ECSE 340-Intervention with Infants RB1

I am so extremely excited for this class!  I love my major because it not only teaches me what I need to for future jobs, but it also teaches me valuable lessons for when I am a future mom! During my second semester here at BYU-I I took the Infant and Toddler Development class and learned a lot about the early stages of development of infants and the great importance those first years of life are for the children.  I feel like a lot of what I learned from that class will help me with what we learn about in this class.  In my Infant and Toddler Development class I did a home visit with a 3 month old little girl and then I have also done several home visits for my Toddler lab so I do have a little experience on how those go.  As I mentioned in my RB for ECSE 421, I went to Romania this last fall.  While I was there we were able to go to the children hospital and spend time with any children there that were orphans and did not have parents to stay there with them and help them get better.  During one of my visits I met a little two month old baby and saw him twice a week for about 3 weeks.  I grew to love this little boy and when I went there and he was gone I was so sad!  Happy that he no longer needed hospital care but sad because in our short visits I had grown to love this little boy and loved to watch him grow!  I love babies because they are so precious and small and have a certain peaceful feeling about them you can find very often!  I am so excited to be able to learn, meet and work with infants in this class!
