Milestones
Sleeping through the night (HURRAY!!!!) opening/closing doors motioning “come” with hand vocalizing to get people’s attention making silly faces to get a laugh pushing cars/trains

Stream of Conscience
I think it’s easy to focus so much on extra-curricular activities that children come to see their greatest strengths as dance, music, sport, leaving them with the debacle later in life of what to pursue.

But this tiny little room just got a tiny bit better- okay maybe a lot better! Remember how it had looked like this? (Unfortunately, I purposely didn’t include the trimless window…
