 this past weekend I had the electronic baby. It was very hard but I kind of enjoyed it. I was very tired because I didn't get to sleep as much as I wanted to because the baby would sleep a lot.  yet, I enjoyed getting to have that experience with the electronic baby. The experience was very realistic and helped me open my eyes a lot on parenting. I did not realize how much work babies are and how loud and heavy they are. I enjoyed the experience. I also learned a lot this week by watching inside out.

This week I leaned more about being a teacher and how it's hard to teach toddlers and how hard it is to make lessons plans and come up with creative effective ideas. I also get the electronics baby today so I'll learn more about what it's like to be a mom. I made a literacy cube this week which was cool and a very creative cool way to write a 'book' for toddlers that will be fun for them.

This week we watched Ariel to see how she is related to a toddler. It wasn't until now that I realized how much she acts like a riddle although in the movie it says that she is 16. We also took a lot of notes about toddlers and what they do and we learned slot about tantrums and why toddlers act the way they do. We watched funny videos and saw funny pictures of toddlers throwing fits for no reason and of teenagers acting like toddlers.

This week I leaned a lot in early childhood education. First, we played with shaving cream to determine if it was age appropriate for a toddler. We also watched a baby Einstein movie to determine that as well. We took a lot of notes about toddlers brain deleopment and leaned about the different types of development such as cognitive, physical and emotional etc. Finally, on Friday we did 5 tasks while imagining ourselves as toddlers and determined what was developed through doing that task and if it was age appropriate for 12 month olds, 24 month olds, or both.
