If you Give Nathaniel a Nickel...



Dear Sweet Nathaniel,  

At bedtime lately, we have been reading all of Author Laura Numeroff's books. Your favorite one is, "If You Give a Moose a Muffin," and my favorite is, "If You Give a Pig a Pancake."  We like them so much that I thought it would be fun to make up our own story based on these books. When you get a little bit older, maybe we can draw some pictures to go with it! That would be fun!!

If you give Nathaniel a nickel,
He will want to go for a train ride through the park.

If you ride the train through the park with him,
He will want to chase the wild geese that he sees there!

You will chase him chasing the geese,
And afterward he will be hungry.

So, the two of you will sit down for a picnic,
And Nathaniel will ask you for some chocolate milk.

You will put a straw in his chocolate milk,
And he will blow bubbles through the straw.

He will get chocolate all over his face,
And then he will need a bath.

You will go home to give him a bubble bath,
And he will ask you for his fishing pole.

You will find his fishing pole for him,
And he will catch lots of fish in his bathtub.

After his bath, he will run through the house,
And you will catch him and put on his pajamas.

Next, he will find a cup of coins on the counter,
And chances are, the nickels will remind him of the train ride.

He will ask you to play trains with him,
And you will play together until bedtime. 

All our love to you always & forever, 
Mommy & Daddy
