The play yard we picked up several months ago has been experiencing minimal use recently, since Hannah doesn’t react very well anymore to roaming about with plastic partitions. We routinely let her walk around the living room and study these
This one’s probably an old one! During the counseling class last week, there were jokes aplenty with the very lively and animated instructor we were having. One of those jokes that came up was as follows. Apologies to those of

Just some random sampling of cute and endearing moments with our little girl. Such behaviour of hers might not repeat again. When I squat down, open my arms and call Hannah’s name, she would giggly make her clumsy baby walk
Apologies for the relative dearth of posts! Not much to write about this couple of days (though Ling has an interesting post she’s working on about Hannah), except that I’ve been attending a five day training program on practical counseling.
