Teachable Not Terrible Two’s
Terrible twos? I don’t believe in them. Every child is teachable. Lauralie is already opinionated, independent and loves to be in control. She’s also the best movie narrator I’ve ever met. We start our mornings with her telling me to wake up and literally opening my eyes. She tells me she’s “going potty” andContinue reading “Teachable Not Terrible Two’s”

Perception
Perception is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.
