Everything and Cool Metal

Everything.

I was reading to Olivia last night ... Tiny Too Little is a mouse in love with a giraffe. He stacks up a thimble, a match box, a cabbage, a tea cup, a watermelon, a candle and a cupcake to try to reach his love and give her a kiss. With each page, one of the items is added and all the preceding items are repeated ... I pause and point and let Olivia join in.
When I got to the last item on the stack, I pointed at the cupcake to have Olivia begin the list again. This time she hesitated, so I prompted her by saying "What did Tiny Too Little stand on?" She sighed and said, "Everything!"

Cool Metal Comfort
Lucas - 4/8

Lucas sleeps with a small fire engine. About 5 inches x 2" x 2". Mommy was reading to him, but he was distracted b/c he couldn't find the fire engine.
Lucas said, "But I need something cool and metal to sleep with!"
I found it in our room. He snuggled it up to his cheek like it was a soft teddy bear.
What a boy.
