Books as Gifts - Evan the BookwormBooks can be a wonderful, inexpensive gift or activity for a child. This is my two year old son Evan, looking at one of his favorites. It cost me all of a dollar at our local dollar store, and I can't tell you how many times he's "read" it!

Fuzzball - Couch Potato

Couch PotatoFuzzball decided this was his couch. We bought it at Big Lots for porcelain dolls but as he was the boss of the house, it became his.
