Spring Has Arrived!

Glenni Lorick, Editor-in-Chief

Signs of spring are all around. As I write this the dogwoods and Bradford pear trees are bursting into bloom. Grass is beginning to look greener. The days are longer, and it’s a great time to be alive!
In just a few weeks we’ll celebrate Easter when the most incredible event in human history occurred: Christ’s resurrection! Then a few weeks later we celebrate Mother’s Day. If this is your first time to celebrate Mother’s Day as a mom, treasure each moment of it! Whether it’s your first Mother’s Day or your fiftieth, do something special for yourself – get a massage or a spa treatment. You deserve it!

This issue of Valley Babies features an outstanding article on Montessori education by Lysa Parker. Even if your baby is still in the newborn stage, you’re probably already thinking about his education. If you’re pregnant make sure you check out Angie Gilchrist’s article entitled “Exercise During Pregnancy.” Michael and Denie Riggs have written an article about prenatal stimulation.
