This is the 3rd or 4th time since I moved to Japan that he has stopped by. However, this is the first time that Zilla was old enough to read the book and understand the idea.
If you aren't familiar with the book, it is work checking out from the library. It is a quick read and for little kids it is a great imagination starter! Zilla has asked to do his own Flat Stanley (perhaps after the holidays?) and even tried to put his fav. stuffed dog into an envelope to "mail" to visit his Aunt and Uncle's dog in AZ!
On this that this visit really made me realize though is that our lives have become very "normal". Most days/weeks we only leave the neighborhood for my Baby Signing Time
classes.
This time in the letter to the class who sent Stanley to visit I tried to point out some of the things that are the same, and different, in the way we live here as compared to what they probably live like.
When it was time to send him on his way Zilla and Mega were not too pleased. They really enjoyed having an extra friend around to play with!
