A major milestone today ! Cezanne made her first sentence, or more accurately her first phrase.

“more berries” with the accompanying hand gesture just to be sure I understood her…

But every silver lining is attached to a cloud and so at around 5pm today I heard a very loud “no” coming from the basement and then a very unhappy little girl. When I arrived I found that Cezanne had gotten into the wet bar and managed to open the coffee tin and pour ground coffee out all over the floor behind the bar area. She was at least considerate enough to only mess on the tile so the clean up was not hard. I promptly was put to work installing child proof latches on all 7 cabinet doors in the basement.

Oh how we remember the days when she was less busy
