Two things my kids love at the moment: baths and blocks. So, the perfect Christmas gift, it seemed, would combine these two loves – – but was there anything of this nature out there??? Sit back ladies and gents and get your mouse finger ready for some clicking, because if you have amateur builders/bathers in your home, this product is WONDERFUL:

Tuesdays honey works late and so that means extended bath time for the younguns. Tonight we pulled this toy out for the first time and WOW! They would have kept going if I hadn’t said it was time to get out.

Just something for you to file under “fun”.

I know the seamstress – she’s good for a good product.

Just wanted to let you in on a conversation I had with Little over lunch today. (Conversation is in italics because this is a new phenomena in our home. Little has a touch of echolalia and so we normally hear what we say repeated throughout the day and hope to heaven we know what she wants).

So, today I asked Little, “Now when are you going to stop sucking your thumb?”
Replay, “When I turn four in Feb-Ru-ARY!”
As I am asking her this, I am taking a picture of a birthday gift I just made for my neice, Esther.
Little says, “Look at the picture, please.”
I bring the digital camera over for her to peek and she says, “It’s for Esther’s birthday. In Febraury too!”
“That’s right” I reply – dumbfounded.
“Esther’s in China” she continues and my mouth drops open.
“Yes, she is.” I say.
“Little go to China too.”
“That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it, Little.” I say.
“Little will stay here in St. Leweeous” She pronounces and takes a bite of lunch.
Conversation ended.

What FUN!!!
