We discovered what tickles Elyas' funny bone today. He's been chuckling for months now, but no belly laughs yet. Well, today Leila and Uncle David were tossing a ball back and forth and Elyas was cracking up! I'd never heard him laugh so hard! Adorable.

We had a meeting with a subgroup of the moms from our moms' group today. We're forming a sort of Waldorf-inspired co-op preschool. I'm so excited! I think the socialization and routine will be great for Leila (and for me!), and I feel like it's the first step in our path of her education. We plan to homeschool Leila, but I think these sorts of groups are an excellent supplement to homeschooling; adding socialization, routine, and fun with other kids!
