We’re in the midst of our first sleepover. So far so good:

We’re in the midst of our first sleepover. So far so good:
Thomas saw his first movie today - WALL-E, which was a big hit. He calls all robots “boobots”, and was thrilled to see a movie where so many were featured. We headed over the the child-free zone of the city to avoid the throngs of other children over here. It was an excellent choice. [...]

Incidentally, the speech therapist said that signing is [...]
