My Baby's First Steps!

This is the first time her foot has touched the ground in three months! I really thought the first time she was allowed to put her foot on the ground it would be just a little bit of leaning on it and she would build up her time from there.  But they had her start walking right away.  Still with the crutches and still with the boot.  But that girl is walking! When she came walking to me at the end of her physical therapy session, she was grinning so big I teared up. It's like I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  

The Cursed Child

If you're any sort of a Harry Potter fan at all, you know that J.K. Rowling wrote another book which follows Harry and Ginny's son at Hogwarts.  The book was released on Saturday and Barnes & Noble had a big party from 8:00 to midnight to celebrate the release of the book - although it's not actually a book, it's a play script.  It would make a wonderful book - I've already finished it.  It's a slightly more difficult read because it doesn't tell you how anyone speaks or what they are doing.  In a book, you might read something like,  "Hermione snatched the book out of his hands, marched over to the desk and slammed it down, scattering papers and pencils which rolled off the desk and noisily bounced around on the floor.  She glared at the mess and then back at Ron and snapped, 'Thanks!'" In a script, that same bit would look something like this: Hermione:  Thanks! Movements, expressions, inflections, etc are not in a script
