What do you like on your pizza? Socks? Cats? Baseball Bats? One of the songs on Singing Time, called the Silly Pizza Song, combines food items not commonly found on pizza – in song – to make a very silly pizza. The tune is pretty catchy, and we find ourselves singing it often. Lately though, […]

With all the snow we’ve gotten around here lately Dave has kept pretty busy with his snow blower. The thing is a beast. An 8HP beast. I can’t control the beast, it takes over. Dave has to do it. But he likes it, so its okay. Look at that smile. Bridget really enjoys standing in […]

Previously on Potty Talk and Potty Talk, Volume II, Bridget had taken more of an interest in being independent when she uses the bathroom and she had been pretty free of accidents.
