This probably seems like a fairly full on year, for what is essentially Puggle&#8217;s pre-school year (most of this is for Puggle, although I do have some plans for Bilby included). My plan though, is that we&#8217;ll start with this, and it will take as long as it takes. We&#8217;ll stick with the three [...]]]></description>

It feels as though we&#8217;ve sat on the couch and read/sung quite frequently, but I think it&#8217;s mostly just been the TV cabinet stuff, as I think we only read one of the Aesop&#8217;s fables (whenever he brings the box of books over the fables book is almost always his [...]]]></description>
