Nick got to meet the Bug when we were out for the wedding. He brought her the cutest little toy which he had made himself. A wooden duck on wheels. It even waddles!
We joke that Bug named the duck “No.”
So apparently that was a fun little project, even fun enough to get the book and make another. We shall call him “Way.” Bug is already calling him her “hippopotamus” in a very know it all voice, as she has been watching his progress via email. You’ve really got to see him in action too!
Reminds me of Bug’s favorite song:
“Hey Daddy there’s a dragon in the driveway
Momma there’s a grizzly on the lawn
You better come quick ’cause there’s a hippo in the bathtub
And he’s goin’ down the drain, Oh no! he’s gone!”
Nick says that a frog is next….pretty soon we are going to have Noah’s ark!
BTW… The way the Duck ended up being named No…
I gave the duck to the bug and she was being shy…
I said.. Do you want to name the duck?
She said, “No”… So No kinda stuck…

I hear that he is in the market for a pair of handknit socks….and he’ll make a stick with holes for them. Just in case you want to give it a whirl.
