Per Beckie's request all of the female graduate students & supervisors (about 20 of us) held a "care and share meeting" at our house.  We were free to say whatever was on our hearts and minds and we each were asked to share "one thing" that was special.  The words and stories  flowed. (and,  no one could limit their response with ONE thing)! Although the stories were different and unique and  humorous and touching there was one thing that was consistent-- we all celebrated the little things in "the babies" we serve:    *a smile    *grasp with 2 hands    * a look    *laughter    *an anticipatory response    *a gesture     *a sound or a word    *a step Little blessings. Big impact. Lucky babies!
