Little blessings, little joys
Ruth can count up to ten. She also knows the colors red and purple. She really, REALLY wants to be a big girl so badly; the other little girls in the building are worshiped on a daily basis. Lucas can...
Things Ruthie Says
A short list of things Ruthie says: Hi / Bye Hot / "Coo" (for "Cold") Papa / Mama / Daddy Shoes / Sees (for "Please") "Oof oof oof!" (what a doggie says) "Eeeoow!" (what a kitty says) Uh-oh Uhh,...
