Emma’s a Kisser
Been trying to get out with Abigail to various playgrounds to meet and play with other kids. On Saturday we met Emma. Emma’s 14 months old. Emma’s a kisser. That’s ok. Abigail’s a hugger. The goal is to get started on some social interaction. See what/who’s out there. Of course I think it’s as much […]
