We stumbled across Story Time for Lamb by Michael Dahl at our local library. It’s a cardboard book with bright colors and a big eyed sheep on the front cover reading a book.

Papa’s got a brand new (diaper) bag

We love our pets in the Mojo house. I had two cats and two dogs, then one wife and now one child. At any point in time the animals have always outnumbered the people. All of the animals have adapted well to Toddler Mojo stumbling around the room like a pint sized Frankenstein.
