This is a photo of me with my son, James. You can see a bit of Peter's arm on the left. We were visiting a aviary in North Carolina this summer. It was the first time my boys had been so close to a bird, and they seem to have inherited their Mama's love of animals. It is magical to watch them discover the world around them. Everything is so new. They are learning new things everyday, and as I watch them learn, I learn more too! When they were about five months old, I posted the following thought on Facebook, and it is still true today. "As a teacher and now a mother, I always thought I would do the teaching. My boys have taught me so much in the first five months of their lives than I could ever have imagined and for that, I am forever grateful!"
