The Workings of a 2 year old Mind

My children have always been literal in naming their stuffed animals…You may remember Mousie,  Mousie the 2nd , and Mousie the 3rd. 
Behold!

“KITTY”

“BABY”

“MeeOww Kitty”

“MOUSIE” (the first)

“BEAR”
 
and………………..

“WOOF WOOF” (?)
[who says "Yee Haw!"]

Edison’s Christmas Party – 1st Grade

A few days before Christmas, Edison had his Christmas party at school.  Claudia and I were asked to come in to “help” out.  The parents of one of the children are professional ballroom dancers and they taught the kids some basic swing dancing moves.  It was cute when they were asked to pick a partner [...]

South Dakota, Part 2
