When I was 7 I started reading Spidey, it was a version of Spider Man that was produced by The Electric Company.

For many non secular reasons Christmas is a magical time to a 3 year old. Some of the houses in the neighborhood are decorated with bright lights outside. Ironically, more often than not it’s those houses without a 3 year old that do decorate outside. 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
