The Seven Ages of Childhood

"Growing, growing gone.....the changing faces of childhood."

Six Months	when the baby is alert and responsive, yet still looks like a baby.
One Year	when the permanent feature characteristics first begin to show family likeness.  Still a baby, but a robust growing person.
Two Years	when the language barrier has been broken and the child shows response to reason.
Four Years	no doubt the cutest, most desirable age for boys and girls, when individuality has formed and added a permanent element of personality.
Eight Years	after the snaggle-toothed age, when second teeth and a growing mind have developed the more mature child.
Twelve Years	when a child approaches the teen-age stage, and takes first steps toward independence.
Sixteen Years	when childhood ends and the mature adult begins to emerge.
Graduation	a milestone moment, when a young adult begins his quest for a meaningful role, when he flutters off into a lifetime, and learns to soar.

The ages of childhood are preserved by Gittings with creativity, sensitivity and patience. The younger years portrayed with charm...treasure for the heart.
