Yesterday, Karis visited her Roots of Empathy class. The grade 2 students were very excited to see her. They spotted us from the hallway and I could hear several of them saying "baby Karis is here!"
Our visits always start with the "welcome song". Each student shakes Karis on the foot while singing "hello baby Karis and how are you, how are you today?"
Yesterday the theme of the lesson was "crying". Miss Lisa taught the students and asked me questions about how to soothe a crying baby. We also talked about how babies communicate since they can't talk yet.
We then gave Karis some tummy time and let her play with a few toys and a book. The kids thought it was very funny when Karis tried to eat the book. Some of them are also quite grossed out when Karis drools. They'll say "eww, she's drooling". I'm waiting to see their reaction if she spits up in one of our lessons, but this hasn't happened yet.
Roots of Empathy is lots of fun for me because it give me a chance to spend some time with just Karis. It's fun to study her and celebrate her milestones. She is an amazing baby and such a blessing to our family!
