Just one fruit !

There are some fruit bearing trees in our garden with just a few fruits. This one has only one at this season!

I keep a close watch on this lest squirrels plenty in our garden get it before me!

This plant is the one who gets a special attention because of its solitary fruit! This is the first time it is bearing fruit since we planted it about 18 months back. 

Most plants go through this phase of growing to bear fruits. The growth first and then the fruits!

One of the challenges parents have is to plan for the emotional, intellectual, social, linguistic, and musical growth of babies in the first year of their life. 

Most babies sleep after every feed till about three months and then gradually prolong the awake period in between the feeding by about four to five months. All babies are happy to be engaged and played with during the awake period. The more babies find something interesting to see, hear, or use hands and mouth to explore, the more they stay awake to entertain themselves. 

Such babies would be a delight to be with when they are around 12 months of age, because, they are in tune with the environment and interactive fully! Their social skills, communication skills, playing skills, exploratory skills would surprise us! They are th fruits of facilitating growth!
