Dog Cuddles
Since getting a dog won’t be right for all of our readers, I will refrain from droning on and on about how cute these two were together…just trust me – ADORABLE!
From a journaling perspective, it is great to include fun photos that will help other kids engage with your child. It is less important that it be something your child did that day and more important that it is true to who they are as a person.
If you encourage your child to dance to the beat of their own drum, they will find their tribe. Anyone out there like to cuddle with your dog? You are Mikey’s people.
