Treaty Negotiations
In February this year, I wrote here about Hannah’s newly developed abilties in sentence construction. Six months and today, she’s not only able to form sentences, she can now string them together into conversations but also negotiate with us when

I haven’t done a post on Hannah’s morning routine for more than 2 years now, so here’s an updated post on it and our reactions as parents! Hannah has settled in nicely with her nanny and also at pre-nursery at
Movie Revisits
