Teresa is John's (14 months) new nanny. She is in charge of looking after John while his parents are working.
Teresa has noticed three things about John and his parents.
Noticing #1
When John's mother leaves at the start of the day, he cries for a good 20 minutes before he eventually calms down. When she returns home at the end of the day, he notices her but doesn't seem very excited to see her.
Noticing #2
John constantly pushes his food off of the high chair and on to the floor. When his nanny scolds him, he gets very upset and cries. She tells him to stop doing it, but he continues to push his food off the table every day.
Noticing #3
John's lunch always contains peas. He has a very hard time picking them up. He tries to pick them up using his palm.
