A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
I finally saw what the trouble has been. I had suspected that the continuous low grade fever and clinging behavior were due to a new tooth coming in, but until today I couldn’t see any evidence. I was a little concerned because his first tooth came in…
When I was growing up whenever I used the word “kid” to describe a child I was corrected. “Kid’s are baby goats, not baby people.” was often what I heard. However, this response never broke me of the habit. It was just another childhood annoyance for…
