Toria is learning Ballet at Cheng Ballet. She does the butterfly move so well, that even though she is new, the teacher places her 2nd in line to lead the class in that move. The teacher will also exclaim non-stop “Good job Victoria”, “Very nice Victoria”…

Initially, we thought it was just constipation and slight rectal tear, because she had just started to “embargo” all vegetables, even though she does eat fruits. She eats pretty well. But [...]
