Lynn! Way to go! The mystery picture is the back side of a VHS cassette. I know you're probably wondering why I chose a VHS tape for this week, but it has a really funny story. A few weeks ago, the kids & I were at our friend Karen's house playing. Karen's oldest son, Caden, absolutely loves trains...particularly Thomas the Train. Ethan was playing with some of Caden's trains, and Karen and I got to talking about the TV show. I told her that Ethan had never seen an episode or any of the movies (that was pre-antenna), and she said we could borrow one of Caden's movies just to see if 
Ethan liked it. So, as we're leaving Karen brings Ethan the movie on a VHS tape. Well, we have a VCR, but it's not hooked up and Ethan's never seen it. Our conversation went like this:E: What's this?
Me: A movie.
E: Where's foofie (movie)?
Me: Right here - this is the movie.
E: No, where's FOOFIE?
Me: Ethan, it's right here (pointing to it in his hand).
E: What's this?
Me: The Thomas movie.
E: No, what's THIS? (he's getting very upset at this point)
Me: That is your movie that Caden is letting you borrow.
E: WHERE'S FOOFIE?
Me: (with a very defeated tone) I don't know where your movie is.
HA! That discussion over the VHS tape cracks me up! - I can't wait to have conversations like that with Isaac! He is still slow to talk but spent the day saying "Ah-Pa" (Pa-Pa is Rich's dad), "Mammy" (Grammy is Rich's mom), and "Gigi" (that one was perfect as my Mother wants to be called Gigi.) My Dad is "Grandad" so it will be a while before he can say that one! Miss you! Hope all is well w/ Ethan's allergies!
