Caillou, Caillou....THAT'S ME!

That little boy has taken OVER this house! For those of you without kids I'll update you. ^That was the ending of the theme song. Its a cartoon about a 4 year old boy, his 2 year old sister, and their family. Absolutely nothing special about it at ALL. Its not even all that great to look at, the whole show is in primary colors. MY daughter is OBSESSED with it. Which means we'll be having a Caillou birthday party in May. oh yay! I've already found ideas on Pinterest (yay for Pinterest!!!) Check it out :) http://pinterest.com/amorvant/bday-ideas/

So Miss Emma is sick today :( We've been battling this horrible snotty nose, achy body, fever monster for a few days. I hate when she's sick, she's so grumpy and it makes me sad :( She even slept in til 11:30 today!!!

I think we're going to learn about the letter D today. I'm thinking things like "daddy,dog, dirt, dark,  and dolphins." Maybe we can paint some dolphins in the tub with our bath tub paints, and go drive the neighbors dogs nuts in the dirt :)
