Mia, 6 Years
Big Mia! This year she grew around a foot, only wants to ski black diamonds, blossomed into a kid that is loving team sports (this was previously a struggle, but she loved basketball, soccer, and t-ball this year), swims like a fish, is so darned curious, lives to be tickled and/or wrestle, and perhaps her biggest milestone?

On ADHD
I recently listened to a pair of podcasts from Stuff You Should Know (a fave) on the subject of ADHD and it got me thinking more about myself as an individual and a parent.
