Oliver had a great day at preschool! He came home and did his night routine nicely. He just had a bit of a hard time going to sleep tonight. He couldn't turn off his little mind! So, Mommy read the first chapter from, Little House in the Big Woods the first book in the Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder, to try and calm him down.
Mommy loves reading fiction, but even better she loves reading historical fiction! The Little House Series is perfect, we are learning how people lived off the land in the late 1800s. Oliver already had tons of questions, particularly about the wolves that were howling outside the families log cabin home. Mommy thinks that we will learn a lot by reading the series, and it will probably lead us to seek out more information about their lifestyle and where they lived. The family lived in the woods of Wisconsin! (Mommy loves reading about the past, she just can't get enough.)
Oliver finally fell asleep when Pa was butchering the pig. Mommy is kind of glad he missed that part, because she knows he would have lots of questions...Oliver is always asking questions and loves to learn! (Maybe one of these days we can visit a historical museum together--there are so many neat places to visit where you can learn about the past!) Sweet dreams Oliver!
