SPL has now become “Mr. Manners” dispensing advice like “to be polite, you need to say it this way..” and he’s usually right 🙂

Pizza Dinner @ 4:30 pm. That’s just how we roll (especially today):

Today = day spent solely @ home, but w/ big goal as our focal point (learning to use the toilet: Day 1); time measured in 15, 30, & 60 min segments. Proud & exhausted.

Quote from SPL:”We need tons of tow trucks. Probably even more than 1.”

Watching SPL’s independence grow & expand is both invigorating & exhausting (for us both).
