While these sweet little somersaults are all in good fun I’m afraid of what this fearless girl will think of next! Forward, backward, sideways; in the air, on the ground… off the furniture or the walls… who knows!...
‘A’ is for Art
I’ve been faced with the problem of how to handle the constant stream of arts and crafts coming home with E from daycare week after week. I love each piece so much I can’t ever bare to toss anything in the trash.

While it’s wonderful to be with family every day, I have been missing these special one-on-one moments with E that I had once had in abundance… … Several hours later Emerson is asleep and I’m imagining the amount of destruction a toddler would be capable of without...
