What a clever girl!

Charlotte can see so much more than I realised! She was emptying the kitchen cupboards again yesterday and started handing me plates. Then she wanted to put them up on the counter. This is delightful because she is mimicking me - our kitchen is brightly lit and her chair is a couple of meters from the counter. So this is marvellous vision indeed!

The sweetest moments

...are the ones that I never write down, and I really must, because they are so wonderful, and so easily forgotten.

This morning, Charlotte and I had a lovely cuddle in bed. She laid her head on my chest, she was perfectly still: no squirming, fidgeting or tensing. I stroked her hair and she lay across me, completely relaxed and calm. It was such a lovely start to the day, I wish all our days began in such a sweet and beautiful way.
