Sunflower Seeds, Wk. 1

Some recent seeds of joy, as we prepare to worship the Son corporately tomorrow….

On our latest expedition to the little free library on the next street over, the kids & I discovered a book of recipes for homemade slime!

While I was singing her bedtime songs the other day, our (foster) daughter told me she loves me sometimes - and that means we’re making some real progress, since lately her staunch antagonism has been a heartache-y struggle. But hey, progress is progress! 

Our son is a late talker, seeming to understand everything and saying quite a few individual words, but not being conversational yet. Sometimes his nonverbal-ness is a struggle. But here are some of his most recent word-additions! 

* berries (learned with blueberries; but also used for grapes, raisins, cranberries, watermelon, blueberry muffins, etc)

* lo-lo (yogurt)

* Too-tul! (Oh, Toodles! from Mickey Mouse)

* away (I want to put X away)

* ride (ride home in the stroller)

And let’s not forget our fun picnic dinner tonight, since my sweet husband grilled out steaks 🥩
