Present in the Mail
Today I put something in the mail for*my* Mommy’s birthday:
I’ll let you know what it is after she lets me know it’s arrived!
You Choose the Title
Here are your choices for this post:
1) Hansel, the Early Years
2) Trails (or Trials) of Toddlerhood
3) My Mommy Loves Her Dyson Vacuum
4) Parents, Fear the Silence
(I’ll tell you the toddler’s caption after you get a chuckle from the photos):
To quote our can-do boy, “Mommy, no pa-pates (pancakes). See-do. (Cereal).”
And yes, I *do* love my Dyson!
Beautiful Words for April
My kindergarten students recite this poem each April, but also like to use it as a prompt for their journals, because of course, five and six year olds certainly have their own feelings about rain:
Let the rain kiss you Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops Let the rain sing you a lullaby The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk The rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night And I love the rain. - Langston Hughes, 1902-1967, April Rain Song
