Every Tuesday, Ashlyn's Early Childhood Development Class takes a trip to a local daycare center. A while back she told me about this little boy that doesn't talk or interact with any of them. He keeps to himself and even the teachers at the center told the kids from Ashlyn's class that he's just like that with everyone. Well, recently Ashlyn has made a breakthrough with him and he just loves her. She's the only one that he will talk to. This picture, Ashlyn sent it to me from her cell phone, is of the two of them, and it warms my heart that he has opened up to her. Ashlyn has a special gift that makes children want to be around her (well except her own brothers,lol).
She says he wants a dinosaur and an airplane for Christmas so we are going to go shopping for the little guy. I hope he has a wonderful Christmas!

The little guy seems really happy with her, that's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAll it takes is a little extra kindness and attention to pull some children out of their shell... This is wonderful!

ReplyDeleteOh! Your story caused goosebumps. I am so glad to hear such a wonderful story. I am a proud gramma ann of Ashlyn and I only know her through the blogging world. Tell her to keep a diary of her little guy. Maybe, someday she can write an article about him and his progress over the years.
