Today Susie mentioned to me that Chris was really into Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever. This was a big favorite in our house growing up, so much that Susie often slept with a dog-eared copy. I had kind of forgotten about it, so I brought it out for quiet time to read to Shep.
I read him the first few pages and then told him he could hang onto it and look though the pictures during quiet time. Some time later he started calling for me rather insistently, and when I arrived, he pointed to lower corner of the grocery store spread. "Look! It's JAM." It was as if he had just discovered buried treasure in that jar of jam.
I should have know my foodie would find that page the most fascinating. Big thanks to Susie for getting a classic back in circulation.
Basket, Day 3:
When that fundraising thing was held at our house back in May, someone brought over a huge cooler to hold drinks. There were leftover drinks in there they told us to keep, and we could just return the cooler when we unloaded it. I'm embarrassed to say, months later, the cooler is still sitting on the patio. UNTIL YESTERDAY! I emptied, scrubbed, and sanitized and returned that sucker. And that's even bigger than a basket!
