Baby Bear, would you like some porridge?

GaGa and Grandpa gave Marianne two cloth books today, "Mother Goose Rhymes" and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". "The Three Bears" comes with four little hand puppets so we can act out the story while we read. After looking intently at the pictures, Marianne put the baby bear's mouth up to the picture of porridge. Too cute! GaGa and Grandpa gave Marianne a special Easter Egg decorated with Disney characters. Mom was looking through all of her Easter decorations and found an egg-dyeing kit from "Caldor", a discount store in Connecticut. The significance of this is that it means she's been saving it for 18-20 years. They used the kit to make eggs for Marianne, and they turned out really cute. As you can see, Marianne got a big kick out of her egg. It lasted in her hands for about three minutes until she decided to pound it on the table.
