ANALYZING OUR REACTIONS! LET'S TALK ABOUT BABY!

If you had the opportunity to read, Magic in the Glorious Green Glades, I predict you may have formed your opinion about Baby's character already.

The name "Baby" has so many meanings. It could be a term of endearment, an unpleasant personality type, or a little human ready to take on the world...the list goes on!

Whatever comes to mind when hearing the word, one thing we all have in common; we were all "Baby's" once.

The character, Baby, in, Magic in Glorious Green Glades, is a representation of all of us, to a point. We were all naive to life's ridicule, pain, and bullying in one way or another...until we were not!

Baby's character exhibits confusion when trying to understand the negative personality that made her feel so embarrassed. She allowed the word's of Gee to control her emotions, and essentially her life!

As her friends Frankie and Sammie, follow her lead, to never visit the Play Park again, we see the impact an experience can actually have on more than just the targeted individual!

As Lily and the Queen help the group work towards a solution - we watch the characters grow and mature!

Each experience in life, may give us essential tools to carry on; even if we do not immediately realize it.

Baby's character development is one of admiration, and one I personally hold in high regard!

As we overcome life's challenge's, we may find strength and an unwavering ability to persevere.

Just like Baby, try to stay open to opinions, suggestions and a little help from your friends. We never know when the wisdom from another could just be the answer we have been looking for.
