She also likes tomatoes on her Subway sandwiches and veggie burgers, but she has never eaten a tomato alone. I gave her a small piece and she LOVED it! In … [Read more...]

My Princess’ new favorite is making a shopping list. She constantly asks us to write up a list for her to copy. She loves writing letters now and trying to figure out what letter a word begins with.Most days, I really do think she is brilliant! Truly.
