Phone consultation with Gerd on Friday

This week (on Friday), I will have a phone consultation with one of the SonRise teachers, Gerd. I sent a 10 minutes video of myself playing with each kid (Kelsey recorded it!). It will be great to see the suggestions Gerd will have. Here are some of my favorite teachers at SonRise: Raun's sister, Bryn; Bryn's husband, William; Karolina; Raun's mother, Samariah, and Raun's father, Bears. My friend Valeria, another SonRise mom, is also in two of the pictures.
