Toddler-sized "zoo"

Lucy loves listening to books of sounds. (Is there any toddler who doesn't?) Recently, she's been loving a felt book of animals made for her by my cousin's wife--most especially, the fish page, where I say "bluub, bluub, bluub" to go with the bubbles coming from the fish's mouth. She wants to stay on that page for a long long time, touching each bubble and saying "bluub, bluub" herself.

So a simple trip to buy cat litter this weekend turned into an event: it felt like going to a toddler-sized zoo when we took a detour to the fish department. Here she is with our friend Tim, checking out all the fish:




Just right.
