Current favorites

Now that we have a pretty solid daily routine going, the kids have developed some favorite things that they like to do or see every day.
Rhiannon has been carrying around a book called "Stickeen", which is a true story about a dog named Stickeen who befriended the famous explorer John Muir and accompanied him on a memorable adventure that involved crossing an ice bridge over a deep crevasse in Alaska. My Aunt Dawnie gave this to us as a baby shower gift before Rhiannon was born. It has really gorgeous blue ice glacier drawings and Rhiannon loves to hear about how scared but then brave the little dog Stickeen was. Its so fun to teach her about mountains, glaciers, exploring and camping.
Tryfan watches Rhiannon plomp down on the ground to read Stickeen, and so he has started finding places to also sit and read. His current favorite book is "James" (one of Thomas the Tank Engine's fellow trains) and also "Skippy-jon Jones: up and down".
But the family favorite at the moment is to watch this video about a gorilla...
