Not a board book, but "Hippos go Berserk" by Sandra Boynton. Can still
recite half of it! By far one of the best yard-sale purchases I *ever* made.

BTW, we just got a CD in recently about an imaginary B'way review by
Sandra Boynton. It is hysterical! It's called "Philadelphia Chickens"
and is chock-full of bad puns and weird humor. I love the way SB's mind
works. Check it out online, especially the opening "Cow" song.

That is soooo cute! Suddenly wishing my kids were younger!

Well, the 8 yr old might still enjoy it, but the 12 and 14 yr olds are
definately too teenager to.

Hmmm, haven't heard of those. Have heard great things about her
"Philadelphia Chickens" so I will have to look into these. We do a lot
of Dr. Seuss. The true test for anyone even slightly dyslexic is to
successfully read "Fox in Socks" upside down.

Do not buy "oh Say can you Say" then....it's very hard to read right side up!

Get it for the kid in you...and if you play it around the house, it'll
give the teenagers "permission" to secretly enjoy it, too. They'll say,
"aw, mom, not THAT again!" and secretly be singing along

sigh....mine are much more into eye-rolling and refering to anything besides
AFI, Blink 182 and Good Charlotte as "Old people music"

Gotta love teenagers!

Ah yes, 17 mo. Normally a very cute and sweet little thing. She likes
to take her books off the shelf and sit and "read" them. When she takes
our books off the shelf she chews and rips them. Perhaps it is the lack
of pictures.

Probably!

I also found that children's books are made with heavier weight paper, while
our books are flimsy and easy to tear.

Have you gotten her any of the Sandra Boynton board books? My kids loved them

The Going To Bed Book and Dinosaurs! I love reading those to DD; too bad she
is almost too old for them.

Our current favorites to check out from the library is Bubba and Beau, Best
Friends and Bubba and Beau Go Night Night. So sweet and just plain fun to
read aloud.

Philadelphia Chickens is the best CD for a road trip - great
sing-along songs for all ages ('poultry in motion is a beautiful
thing...")

As I posted earlier, this is our favorite road trip CD. Two
50-somethings just singing along!

I hope much better.

I discovered a bruise on my tushy this AM!

Cheryl


This reminds me of when I bruised my tushy. I used to have a nicely
padded office chair until the wheels started falling off--or
something, can't even really remember now it's been so long. For
awhile, I was using DH's chair, but it wasn't nearly as comfy, so one
day I tried putting a bed pillow on it. The problem was the pillow
was too big for the chair. Although I thought I was aiming my bum at
the center of the chair, I slid right off the front edge.

Oh Suze,

Forgive me for laughing - I know it hurt but the image of you falling off a
pillow...

Ouch!
Cheryl

Well, actually, I fell off the chair with the pillow on top. If I
didn't already mention, the main reason I fell is the chair moved
because I hit just the very edge of the seat and the chair rolls very
easily anyway. But that's okay, I don't mind you laughing now; I would
too if my bum didn't ache just remembering it. very big grin
