When my children were small I had a few additional children that spent their days with me. We had to go grocery shopping once a week. I would line everybody up and tell them they were baby ducks and I was a mama duck. It worked.
When my children were little they all went to a preschool a couple of days a week to play with other littles. Because they were there I volunteered and it was fun and interesting to see how different all the little people were.
Occasionally, that included a kid that wanted a ride. Always amazed me how much I could move by just adding two handles and 1 wheel to my efforts.
When the littlest was digging down he could get where we could only see the bottom half of him sticking out. A garden hose was always on hand with an on/off so they could have lakes, moats and floods.
Stan Carter really doesn’t like to fly, so much so that he is driving for 14 hours in a car with his wife and 2 children, ages 4 and 6. They are in the back seat in booster seats. Will Sparkle Pony survive the trip?
About first or second grade a boy in my class, Petey, fell and broke his arm and knocked a front tooth out. I thought he was so cute and sweet.
Then there are the ones that seem to have astronaut delusions that swing as high as they can go and LAUNCH themselves to land somewhere out in the grass, hopefully right side up.
When I made this Block it made me think of the children’s book series, Flat Stanley. I know Flat Stanley books have inspired school projects involving a flat cut-out of a child that gets mailed all over.
When I saw this block my first thought was back to a book I read my children and still read my grandchildren called, Are You My Mother? It’s about a baby bird that hatches in his nest while his mother is away and he sets out to find her.
