When Miss G was born full-term the day after my due date, making sure she met milestones reasonably ‘on time’ wasn’t something that was even on my radar… We simply trusted that she’d develop new skills as she was supposed to and celebrated them when they came along.

Goodness… I’m pretty sure I put making these simple little sensory blocks on my to do list about 3 months ago.
