*January The vocabulary of two-year-old Samuel is expanding every day. Unfortunately, he doesn’t come with a translator! One of his favourite words at the moment is ‘wolp’. You won’t find it in the dictionary, but if you were to observe Samuel for a while you would soon see what it means. [more]

*January 'Want to' heart | Philippians 2:13 Cody was sent to the ‘thinking chair’, a ‘time-out’ place for the Grade 4 student to contemplate his choices. Five minutes later, he was still there, fidgeting, looking out the window, and obviously not ready to return. [more]
