Spiderman to the rescue

Our water heater started leaking all of a sudden.I had gone to the basement to do the laundry when i found half our basement was flooded with water.Then started endless hours trying to soak up the water using big blankets and wringing it out.Linux looked up the emergency contact number and was calling up the plumber when i heard munchkin using his toy phone and talking animatedly.
His conversation went like this:
"Hello !Is this spiderman?Hey how are you pal?Our water heater needs fixing..can you come straight away?And hey can you pick up Iron man on the way here?"

Our Favorites - 1

!

...And the award for munchkin's most favorite book goes to "The Little Engine That Could".Its become the most read book in our home.Munchkin just cannot get enough of the book.The title is self explanatory.The story starts with an engine carrying toys, games and goodies to god boys and girls when all of a sudden it breaks down.The toys then ask the help of other engines to carry them over the mountain and they are snorted upon and refused.Then comes the little blue engine that agrees to pull the load even its too little to carry all of them.It keeps chugging "i-think-i-can" and takes the toys, games and the goodies to the waiting boys and girls.I guess the winning factor in this book are the trains, atleast for munchkin.The book is about trains and the concept is simple for a preschooler, they identify with the boys and girls who are waiting for the toys.And no kid can have enough toys.So thats our favorite book for the past 3 months , still going strong
