And you’re blogging it already? !!! That’s dedication.
My heartfelt congratulations. This day marks one of the most profound shifts your life will ever take.
My daughter was born at home too (unintentionally) and Daddy made the catch. Unlike yours, it took her a few years to learn to read.

HOOOOOORAY!!!!!!
Can’t wait ’til she’s old enough to start accompanying y’all to Hotel Astoria, Lower Level. Perhaps we’ll just have her do all the readings for us. ;^)
