Lessons learned, Sammy edition; problem solving. Picture 1, she can't reach the toy? go through the furniture. Picture 2, she's hot? try to fit in the garden pond. :) She is good at figuring things out, which is a great lesson for all of us. Instead of letting stress, frustration, worry, sadness get too big, we can stop & breathe and try to approach it from a different angle.

Lesson 2 - Engaging in something you enjoy.
Here's another Sammy update... Engaging in playing and having fun was NOT something Sammy needed to learn over the last year and a half.
