The Little Things

At Roots & Wings, we are not parents and never wish to usurp that role in the lives of our young charges. But we do have the great pleasure of being allowed to aid parents in the raising of their children. As such, we get to experience many of the joys that come with watching children grow. Some of the most poignant moments are often those which can easily be taken for granted. Here are some of the little things that make each day at Roots & Wings so very special.

Eliazar can be endearingly kind. It is not unusual for Eliazar to pick wildflowers for the staff on his way to Roots & Wings in the morning.

Alfredo is super affectionate. Maybe it is because he is an older brother, or likely it is simply his sensitive nature, but when he thinks no one is looking, Alfredo will give one of the babies a hug, or pinch their cheek, or whisper quiet words of affection into their ear.

Brittany speaks in full sentences. While most of the day little Brit uses gestures, grunts and single words to express herself, she sometimes surprises us by belting out full sentences to get her point across.
