Warmer hugs

Today's post about miniaturization as a route to daughter delight is at Toxophily.

By far my children's favorite cheapo prize for skeeball or duck pond type games is the little plastic ice cream cone where the foam "scoop" pops out when you push a button. Cady Gray calls it an "ice punch." I truly felt we had entered an important phase of American parenting when the kids were having an "ice punch fight" in the back seat on the way home from the library's Easter carnival.
