"The"

Today my baby found the word "the" in her book! It was in one of her little tiny Winnie-the-Pooh books that we were reading before bed. For the last few days, we have sung the following song a few times. I wrote this song. That will be obvious when you read the lyrics.

(To the tune of "3 Blind Mice")

T-H-E. T-H-E.

That spells "The." That spells "The."

THE Cat in THE Hat and THE Red Balloon.

THE Mommy THE Daddy THE Elliot, too.

THE Man in THE Moon, THE Ohio State U.

T-H-E. That spells "The."

Sesame Place May 2010

We took another trip to Sesame Place this past weekend on Saturday. Now that we have season passes, we can do it as a day trip, and really have a great time, and do it all in one day. We drove down Saturday morning, despite warnings of thunderstorms. We agreed that we could have breakfast and do inside things until the storms were gone, then go on rides. Apparently, because of the threat of storms, no one else decided to go to Sesame Place so we had the whole place practically to ourselves! There were NO lines for rides, and we were able to ride many rides many many times. Elliot's favorite, the carousel, we rode 3 times! And she insisted on the roller coaster twice. If we weren't leaving she would have ridden that many more time, too, I'm sure. Happily, there was NO rain to be seen all day, and the weather was perfect. Also, Jack Hanna from the Columbus Zoo was there to do some animal shows. It was great!

Welcome back! (To me...)

Wow! It's been over two months since I've posted. Guess I've been busy!

Well, since the last post was about Vikki's baby shower, I'll update that baby Lily is here! She and Mama are doing well! I've had the lucky opportunity to hold Lily and I assure you that she is beautiful and a great baby.
