Tara's World

In Tara's World:

--Flip flop shoes are flop-flops.
--A back pack is a pack-pack.
--Any gathering is a party. Any party is a birthday party.
--Beds are made for jumping.
--Brothers are made for teasing and bugging.
--If she already "read" a book, she says, "I read that 2 weeks ago."
--Getting in a car and going anywhere is good.
--Talking with your mouth full is a no-no.
--Small talk is perfectly natural. Driving home from school, the car is quiet. She says from the back seat: "We went to the library today."
--She loves to be a friend. If you are thirsty, she is thirsty too. She will bring you a drink.
--If you are hurt, she examines your wound and brings you a band aid.
--If you are tired, she brings you a stuffed animal to "help you feel better."
--She can scream like she's in a horror movie. Usually it's directed at the cat or her brother.
--She talks about her "family" all the time. At school, at home. She draws pictures of us. If she sees four animals in a book, she says they are us.
--We are all thankful for Tara. And for our family and friends.

Happy Thanksgiving...!
