This is bittersweet because it took him a little while to make friends and settle into his current school and he really likes his friends there. But I think this is a better opportunity and we had to take it. I hope we did the right thing.

For the parents who may be reading this, we are still in the neighborhood and I would really appreciate it if we could hang out, maybe do some playground dates in the afternoon. I will email the parents I have emails for, and Oliver is passing out little notes today with contact information.

Oliver is going to miss all his friends and has already asked me to get their phone numbers and emails so they can stay in touch. ?

This was such a fun book to read because it reminded me of Christmas. Dad said Christmas is not for a long time so I love this book. When dad asked me if I like this book I told him I love it, he asked me why. I told him because I love it.

Sure to become a bedtime favorite.
 
This funny and irresistible picture book feels like a classic in the making. When Pig plops into his sty at bedtime, he finds Cow fast asleep in his spot. "Go sleep in your own bed!" he squeals, and sends her packing. But when Cow finally snuggles down into her stall, she finds Hen sleeping there. So begins a chain reaction of snoozing barnyard animals being awakened and sent off to their own beds, until every last one is in just the right place. Young children will delight in repeating the refrain "Go sleep in your own bed!" and laugh at the antics of these hilarious—and very sleepy—farm animals.

Here you can see Claire’s list of books and here is my list of books.

This is one of the first books we’ve read! I didn’t like it too much. I rated it at 3 stars.
