Ivan loves his Maisy books by Lucy Cousins. Other current book faves include Star Wars ABC, Star Wars 123, a book called simply Nursery Rhymes from Priddy Books, Moo Moo Goes to the City by Jo Lodge, Sandra Boynton’s books especially Hey! Wake Up! and a number of board books featuring Sesame Street muppets.

Here is Ivan reading Maisy wearing a felt bowl that belongs in the play kitchen on his head.

Ivan’s not the only one to discover the bowl’s hat-like qualities. Here’s a friend at our holiday party rocking the look.

Also, while this photo is not the best in terms of focus, I love the spirit of the duo in this one chilling together with hats on their heads.
