Over the past few weeks we have been reading The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle for the bedtime reading story. What an amazing hit! A naturalist–learning to talk to animals–exploring the world–exploring the ocean floor. I mean, my goodness! why don’t I just make a wish list for Evan and Grayson and request a book be written! We have summarized, made predictions, and been sorry when it was time for lights out every evening. What fun! Evan said tonight that this book would be ours forever.

We are already looking forward to another Doctor Dolittle story. I’m so glad there are several!!

These pictures show Doctor Dolittle with his parrot, Polynesia, and his dog, Jip.

Grayson’s first day

Grayson was really ready to start his first day of Mommy and Me Preschool. He looks so big! He told me this morning that he was really feeling like a big boy. The sunglasses before heading out the door just cracked me up. He acted very shy when we got to Danielle’s house, but he was ready to go again the next day even though it wasn’t a Mommy and Me day.

We went biking together as a family today. Was it really the first time? It was the first time we were all riding our own bikes for the duration of the trip.
