Comments for Mr. Small
Mr. Small: 01/07/07
Ian's parents have a large collection of Mr. Men books and when we visit, Sean likes to read them. Over the recent holiday I read three ones I've haven't read before: Mr. Bounce, Mr. Noisy, and Mr. Small.
My favorite of the three Mr. Men books that I read on new year's day is Mr. Small because it brings together world of the Mr. Men and the human world. Mr. Small is probably the smallest of the Mr. Men and his size provides a unique series of challenges. Ultimately though Mr. Small's biggest problem is boredom. He wants something to do in his life and he decides the best way to do that is by getting a job.
It is through the job search the the two worlds collide. Mr. Small goes to work for a variety of human employers. Over and over again Mr. Small finds himself too small to perform physical labor. At last though the perfect job lands in his lap. What is it? Ask Roger.
Telling Jokes:
On the way home from the grocery store Harriet began to babble in the car. Sean started to laugh and I asked him why he was laughing. He replied, "Harriet told a funny joke." Sean then began to babble back to her, mimicking her sounds. It really started to sound like a conversation in baby talk. Every so often Harriet would giggle at Sean's baby talk. Then Sean would laugh and then Ian and I would laugh. It was truly infectious.
I'm glad that Sean has taken so naturally to being a big brother. Of course there are still rocky bits. It seems when one child needs a hug, both children suddenly do. Sean has also taught Harriet how to whine; she even mimics his facial expression. Sean, inspired by his sister's talent, has started whining more than he ever used to.
Ian's cold is dragging just like my cold of last April did. His coughing kept us both up last night so today neither of us were in our right minds. Our lack of sleep didn't affect our children's sleep schedule and they were up bright and early as always. After breakfast out and then going grocery shopping, we took turns taking naps. I napped first and Ian watched the kids. Then Ian napped and I made lunch. After lunch I took Sean and Harriet to get some art supplies at Michaels.
