Katie has a "Read-Aloud Chart" for school that we fill out every month.
Upon returning it, she gets to pick a "Prize" out of the "Treasure Box".
Yesterday, this is the story that I heard:
"I turned in my reading chart. I got to pick a toy outta the treasure box. I looked in the box, I didn't see anything useful. Everything that was useful, I had at home. But then there were frogs in the bottom of the box. They looked useful and I didn't have any at home. There was a July flag in there, but we already have one of those. So, I got the frog."
She named her little yellow plastic frog Rib-A-Dib.
Last night Mikey woke at 11:30 yelling for me. I went into his room and he was sitting up in his crib.
"I can't drink my water, Mommy," he explained. He lifted the sippy cup to his mouth and proceeded to show me how he couldn't drink from it. "See?"
It was upside down.
"It's upside down, buddy. Try it this way."
"Oh. Okay."
He took a few swigs and laid back down.
He then dismissed me with a dreamy, "Goodnight."
