    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother.

Daniel does the Lone Ranger

IMG_3397.JPG
I had to show you this. 

My son Daniel - who is 12 and has Down syndrome and some very idiosyncratic behavior (but what kid doesn't? :) - has lately become obsessed with The Lone Ranger, the old TV series which we have on video.

After adding a cowboy hat and a belt/holster/gun to his show prep, over a period of a couple weeks he has raided accessory drawers throughout the house to evolve his current get-up. 

Will keep you posted of future developments. 
Love,

So Cute! My Robert got it into his head last month to be a pirate. In order to be a pirate in his 3 year old mind, he needed a "really big belt" (his words). Imagine how happy I was when he selected one of mine...
