Sophia Visits Pre-SchoolToday Sophia visited Aunty Charlotte's work and got a chance to be with the big kids (3-5 year olds) at preschool.
She had a fabulous time and seemed to enjoy every minute. This hopefully bodes well towards when she herself begins pre-school this fall.
In child-related news, I found the below story on the CBC website today.

In summary, the article talks about a German study which shows infants naturally want to help and be contributors without ever being asked. Cecilia had been speaking about such a subject since Sophia's birth and I think we both believe that it is only our discouraging them (thinking they'll break things, get it wrong or just be too slow/in the way) that breaks their altruistic behaviours.
