In the great green room


Who doesn't love Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon. Recently when we have read it at night, Wiley has been fascinated with "mush."

"And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush."

"Goodnight nobody. Goodnight mush."

So. We made mush this morning for breakfast. Mush, as in porridge oats, as Tesco calls it. Wiley was so fascinated, he wanted to see it, smell it, and then obviously taste it!

On a rainy morning with a bit of brown sugar, the mush was surprisingly comforting (particularly with hot tea and pumpkin bread). (Although it reminded me a bit of Camp Nakanawa's oatmeal.) And, Wiley actually liked it!

"mmm...mush!"

Dawson, it must be something about little boys because Friday night I read Goodnight Moon to the 2 1/2 year old I was babysitting for and he kept flipping back to the mush page! haha He pointed it out on every page he could find it, so weird. I miss you, I'm glad things are finally seeming homey :)
