Knuffle Bunny

Since I someday want to turn this blog into a book for my kids, I wanted to capture their favorite book for them. This was Tyler's favorite book a few years ago, and now Connor wants to read it every night. We've actually got to the point when I'm rocking him to sleep, that I can recite it word for word, without the book. Here's from memory...

Not so long ago, before she could even speak words, Trixie went on an errand with her daddy.

Trixie and her daddy went down the block, through the park

past the school, and into the laundromat.

Trixie helped her daddy put the laundry into the machine,

She even got to the money into the machine.

Then they left.

About a block or so later, Trixie realized something.

"Aggle Flaggle Klabble" said Trixie.

"That's right," replied her daddy, "We're going home"

"Aggle Flaggle Klabble" said Trixie again. "Blabble Plabble. Wumby Flappy. Snurp."

"Now, please don't get fussy," said her daddy.

Trixie had no choice. She bawled. She went boneless. She did everything she could to show how unhappy she was. By the time they got home, her daddy was unhappy too.

When Trixie's mommy opened the door she said, "Where's Knufflebunny?"

The whole family ran down the black, through the park,

they zoomed past the school, and into the laundromat.

Trixie's daddy looked for Knufflebunny and looked and looked and looked.

Knufflebunny was no where to be found.

Trixie's daddy decided to look harder, until, "KNUFFLEBUNNY!!!!"

And those were the first words Trixie ever said.

I love you Tyler and Connor. Every minute that I spent ready that book to you was pure joy.
