Soccer


Wuggie Norple just started indoor soccer. It's his first season. A good friend of his plays in this indoor soccer league, and he loves to see his friend, but there are challenges too. At the end of practice he is very red and sweaty. I don't think he has run around for an hour non-stop since he was 2.

Perfidy

Tonight while reading The Tale of Despereaux we came across the word 'perfidy' and had to look it up in a dictionary. It is the first time we have looked up a word together but oh, dear reader, it was not in Wuggie's "First Dictionary" so we had to drag out Mama's Webster's New World Dictionary. And so he learned right from the start that hard lesson about dictionaries: if your dictionary does not contain all the words you need, it is not much use at all. Next we tried some easier words. 'Palm' we tried, and 'force'. Neither were in his lovely brand new dictionary. He felt somewhat betrayed. Perfidy!

Halloween


In case you were wondering what secret identity Wuggie Norple chose for Halloween

Pomegranate


Who knew- Wuggie Norple LOVES pomegranates. He ate almost the whole thing, seeds and all.

Oh wait, I did know that, he's loved them for years. Every fall it's like a brand new amazing fruit.
