My daughter is perfect. Just perfect. She is smart, kind, gentle, loving, boisterous and ohmygod she is insanely funny. How can a little person at just 16-almost-17 months of age be so freaking cool? I think the most amazing thing about this feeling is the notion that most parents feel the exact same way about [...]

In the immortal words of somebody (I’m sure someone has said it before): “I afear we may be fightin’ the pink eye”. Avelyn has been transitioning from the infant room to the 1-2’s (orange) room this week and came home with diarrhea yesterday.

And I’m not just talking about the magnificent breezes blowing Avelyn’s hair all around her face that make her smile, sigh and giggle in the most beautiful way. We have been SO busy.
