What does Gareth say when he sees the picture at left?

"oooh no!"

(Because Pooh caught Piglet on his fishing pole of course!)

And at right?

"Okee budah buh"  which is what Tigger says to a hiding Roo--"Okay buddy boy!  You can come out now!"

Here they are, below, and here I am watching them.  What you don't see is Mommy trying to both sing along and take pictures and not get arrested for doing so.

One day  we went to "hama's" (see Gareth's World for the translation) and I picked out my favorite snack:  Mandarin oranges.  I even got to help Mommy unpack the box.  She said I was being so helpful that I could even use them to build a tower.  And that I did--I built a whole world with bulk paper towels and my favorite fruit.  By the end of it all, I was exhausted.

And what did Mom do after I went to bed?  Well, she worked on the web site of course.  Be sure to check out the newly updated Gareth's World.


Editor's Note:  It is with great happiness that we tell the world about Gareth's newly acquired skill:  understanding boundaries.  Used to be that the more square feet he had to run around in the wilder he was.  But now he is learning the trashcan is for trash, the stairs are for climbing only if mommy helps, etc.  It  has been a change to celebrate!  Down with the baby gates?  Well, not so fast.  (And, yes, the pun was intended.)
