Going to the Post Office

One of our favorite bedtime books right now is "Busy, Busy Town" by Richard Scarry.  It's an oldie but a goodie.   Each section takes you through different jobs in Busytown (Huckle the cat and Lowly the worm's home).  Tyler gets a kick out of the "post office" where it starts with Huckle writing a letter to Grandma and takes you through the different stages until Grandma Cat receives the letter.  So this week we took a little trip to the local post office, bought a stamp, and made a drop into the mail box.  Tyler insisted doing it all himself of course.

Tyler's latest craze is Ultraman, and has been for a few months now.  He likes to draw Ultraman stick figures and include them in his correspondences.  So if you should receive a drawing in the mail, that's who the stick figure is.  For "Ba Ba Jie" Chinese Father's Day (Aug. 8), Tyler made a card for his daddy.  (see picture)  With each picture he has different embellishments... this ultraman has fingers.  But there will always be two ultraman buddies.  It's important he has a friend.
