*If you remember, please bring a baby photo of your Wee Friend!

Late yesterday afternoon Daniel expressed “I want a worm.” I walked with him to the garden and did what Elliott and Elizabeth always do: used my fingers to dig beneath the garden mats into the dirt. I saw up close and down deep what our friends spend hours looking at: the colors, textures, elements and life of the dirt! This morning, Mel, Lisa and I asked ourselves: “do we really see what they see?”  We set out today to answer that question. We checked our own perceptions, knelt down eye level and made a (wee unconventional) photo journal of what we think they see day after day. “What are you working on?” is one question we ask to our friends to get the conversation started. Routine play becomes the great work of pre-school and kindergarten, challenging their bodies, minds and emotions.

Do we really see what they see? We are all digging in deep, each day, talking, creating and inviting each other, in many ways, to look around and really SEE each other in our Wee World!
