Ringling Bros: Dragons, a boy’s first trip to the circus

We took 3YO Mojo to see the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus last week. As with most 3YO little people he was excited, full of questions and wanted to eat everything in sight. He was especially fond of the ‘tiger ice cream’, that’s what he called the icy freeze that was in his elephant souvenir cup. Continue reading Ringling Bros: Dragons, a boy’s first trip to the circus

Our children are all 3 or younger and I’ve observed that the magical ‘decorate outside age’ is when the oldest is 5 and up. Continue reading What the Christmas tree means to a 3 year old
