Watching her gave me the idea to use the frogs and log to work on spatial concepts. (Spatial concepts are taught in the ...

So Much to Tell You: Message #2
If you haven't read the beginning of this blog series, please go back so that you understand the need I had for the messages.

So Much to Tell You
Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself.
