I’m crazy about this kid. Her mum dropped her off with me this afternoon and after working on some play doh cut-outs…


We hustled down the road to visit our friend, Diana, the former school headmistress!

I love watching Diana explain “lessons” to Sophia.  When they put a puzzle together, each color , each shape, every image is questioned and discussed.  Look at the intensity in their gaze.  Diana honors everything about a child and they respond to her with the whole of their hearts.

Of course, I was sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea with my feet up, cheering them on.

I think I need to put Diana on retainer.
