Tuesday's lecture was very interesting. Since I babysit all the time, it's good to know about child's play. I babysit a 1 year old every Monday, and her parents told me that she can be very clingy sometimes, but other times she likes to play by herself. Since we don't know each other very well yet (Monday was my first day watching her), when she started getting fussy I wasn't exactly sure what she wanted. Once I get to know her a little more I will be able to tell what she needs right away, it just takes time!

I think it's fascinating how a child's play can determine so much about them. But now that I think about it, when I was little all I liked to play was with dolls and playing house with friends. To this day, my dream job is to be a stay at home mom with a family. If that doesn't happen, the next closest thing for me is to own a daycare. I have always liked playing house and dolls, so I think that said a lot for who I am now.
