It's been a great week! Oftentimes when I go to write this blog up and it's been more than a day or two since the previous one, I have to go look in my journal and other places that I write about what we do throughout the day because we do SO MUCH. There are times where I feel like all we do is sit around and watch cartoons, but come the end of that day, I look back and can't even remember everything we did! All of the curious conversations, funny moments, and times of exploration. And it kills me that I cannot record it ALL, I don't want to forget a single minute of it all!!
Anyway, here is a bit of what we've been up to this week:
