(First thing in the morning)

P: No you didn't.
T: Yes I did have a bubble bath!
P: You didn't have a bath last night.
T: I did!
P: Was it a dream?
T: Yes it was a dream.
P: Oh, so you dreamed you had a bubble bath?
T: Yeah.

Book Review: Books by PatrickGeorge

From the library I have checked out I Hear and Opposites by PatrickGeorge (yes, one word). Both are very cool in a similar design- between each page is a transparent page with something on it that changes the picture when you flip it over the page on the left or the page on the right. It's fun to see how a flame (hot) can turn into a drop of water (cold), and my son enjoys flipping them back and forth. These books are definitely unique and worth checking out!

Book Review: Keith Baker Books

I discovered LMNO Peas on the new shelf at the library and I thought it was really cute, and my son loved it! We then checked out 123 Peas, the counting version instead of the alphabet version. Both are great, but I think LMNO Peas is the more creative of the two. The little peas take on every profession you can think of with each letter of the alphabet, and the illustrations are fun. Oh, my son loved them too. Especially the cars in LMNO Peas.
I prefer the large, hardcover book for a toddler, although I bought two of the board book versions for a couple of friends having babies this year.
At the library today we picked up the book Potato Joe, which is another cute book for counting, and learning about gardening! My son laughed at it and wanted me to read it again and again.
In conclusion, Keith Baker's books are fantastic.

T: (sitting in a booster chair, holding the unbuckled straps) Are these car seat belts?
P: No, they're booster seat belts.
T: They're CAR seat belts.
P: No, they aren't in a car.
T: (Holds up a strap with the left hand and another strap with the right hand) Right hand's strap: Hi. I'm a car seat belt! Left hand's strap: I'm a car seat belt! Right hand's strap: I'm not in a car today. I'm in a booster seat. Left hand's strap: Me too!
P: How can I possibly argue with a toddler and inanimate objects?!?!!

T: Yes you can!
P: Okay.
