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.

Such a cute kid and a sweet post. Those people who know what they are doing with kids are magic to watch. And so watch we shall!
