We ate lunch with Daddy, went outside on the back porch and read Miss Manners and God Gives You Friends, and then came back inside to fold laundry and watch an episode of Teletubbies. That’s when it happened. During the intro song, you busted out clapping. You have never done this before. These weren’t just any old claps, they were loud and animated. You held your hands up high in the air and gave it all you got. I’ve never seen you so proud of yourself. Hats off to you for learning how to clap, but most importantly, for enthusiastically loving life – your joy is contagious! Your discoveries are endless and my chores are mundane no more!

P.S. You also fed yourself peaches with a spoon all by yourself… dip to mouth, over and over – WOW!
