This week has been the week of Runaway Bunny. Chandler, at 2, really connects with this book. He loves to tell me what's happening on each page -- "That mommy bunny gonna catch her baby bunny with a fishing pole and a net." Personally, I'm not a fan of the illustrator, Clement Hurd. But since he was illustrating for children, and I've yet to meet a child that didn't delight in his illustrations in Goodnight Moon, I think my opinion must be based on some sort of ignorance.

This week was also the week of discovering fun things outdoors. We stopped on our walk to watch two squirrels playing in the trees overhead for what must have been 15 minutes. Now, that may not sound very impressive, but to have a 2 and 5 year old boy amuse themselves by staring up into trees with rapt attention -- I was surprised. They are not often still unless they are in front of something involving media. But these squirrels kept scurrying left and right, leaping back and forth between two trees, and playing what seemed to be a lively game of tag. We also found something else exciting this week:
