Baby Visit

Bettina came by today with her parents, Peter and Claire. She used to be shy, then she became very social and decidedly not shy.

Now she is shy again, clinging to her mother. She also can speak many words now as she progresses toward speech.

At Mills Hospital in San Mateo, where I was before coming here, there was an occasional art class where a staff member brought art materials and we were encouraged to indulge our desires. I chose colored pencils and water color paints.

Without illusion that I have any talent whatsoever, I enjoy playing with color on paper. I feel serene while doing so.

Peter has been researching assisted learning venues and feels I can afford one in the inner Bay Area. I hope so.
