Re: daughter is ASKING, and making up funny stories!

[Guest guest]

Hi Minna,

Thanks for sharing! I remember when Austin first started asking questions

and the joy that we felt. His first question that showed that he was aware

of his surroundings was when he was 4.2 yrs old. He asked what the sound

was in the backyard. (It was crickets and frogs). It was so wonderful! To

this day, when I hear crickets or frogs, I smile.

Congratulations.
