The following story from Bonnie's Blog describes an experience that reminds us why we do what we do....
"While visiting in Chicago, I wanted to create an opportunity of wonder and delight for Granddaughter Schon, 20 months old — well, for me, too. So I bought a string of the big, colored holiday lights and draped them around the room. As I plugged them in, I watched her. The delight seemed fleeting. Then I boosted her closer and we began to talk about the colors. She touched them and seemed to enjoy that they were hot, but not too hot to touch. She worked with the green light for a long time, looking at her hands, holding them around the light, moving them away — I wondered. And then I could see that she was noticing that her skin looked green next to the light, but when she moved her hands, the green disappeared. Over and over. The delight and wonder were certainly mine — hopefully hers as well."
