2 Points of Order

First, as the women in my family have enjoyed reading my blog but rarely comment on it, I have been corrected concerning a couple prior blogs - see "Sloth vs. Bear" & "Sanity is a Distant Memory". I was reminded of the following occurrence concerning DD.

On Christmas Eve several years ago, we were at my parents house opening presents from aunts and uncles. My Aunt Colleen had sent the children several presents and the kids were overly excited about opening anything. This was at a time when my children had to announce, to no one in particular, what they received at the top of their lungs. DD had ripped into her present, pulled out a stuffed animal and the following conversation ensued.

DD - "It's a duck!!!"
Mom and Me (we often talk in unison) - "No, it's a penguin."
DD - "No, it's a duck.
M & M - "No, it's a penguin."

This is the point when we give up, because she was insistent that it was a duck, so.........

We have a lion that is a (stuffed) tiger
a sloth that is a (stuffed) bear,
a horse that is a (real) dog,
and a duck that is a (stuffed) penguin!

Do we see a pattern here?!?!?!?

Second - Gretta update with pictures.
