Turning another corner
We got lucky with Julia in a lot of ways. She’s generally a very agreeable baby. She’s sweet, smart, and helpful. She helps feed the cats, she says “please” and “thank you” — or “pity” and “merci”… she has a rough time with the French “please” — she’s become a very loving, cuddly little girl. [...]
