Fill In With a Caption: (My Baby Girl Is a Little Joker)

My baby girl is at the age where I really should probably stop calling her a baby girl. But just a little while longer yet, mmkay?

Her personality is developing into a magical (and heady) mix of diva-esque independence, (read high frequency melt-downs), sweet charm and silly humour.

One of her favourite things to do over the past week is to make exaggerated faces. Over and over again. Doesn’t get old. Fill in with a caption in the comments if you so desire…

Dollhouse Love

You know how sometimes you forget about a toy? Or those with smaller parts…oh those blasphemous small parts. Sometimes they get lost in the pile(s).

A few years ago we were gifted this adorable wooden dollhouse. Complete with a solar panel roof. I know. I kept it out and organized for a while, but my boy never really got into it. In keeping with our Montessori approach to play at at home – I do try to keep on top of toy organization and keeping things at a minimum. Less is more.
