Summer is winding down




Driving to work this morning I could tell that summer is on the downhill side; the cool morning air has just a little sharper edge to it, telling us that fall is just around the corner. I don't know about you but I really enjoyed the weather this summer... enough rain to keep things green and growing, just a few really hot, humid days and lots of days that it was just perfect!
It was a very busy summer to be sure. I spent 1 week in June in California and 1 week in July in Florida taking the Program for Infant and Toddler Care training. It was 2 weeks of very intense work in PITC content as well as adult education strategies. When I complete my papers on each content area then I will be a certified PITC trainer. I have 1 paper completed and 3 to go.
Check out the PITC link and the Zero to Three link to find out more about these 2 important resources in infant and toddler care.
