This is a tribute to all the Grandmas who have
been fearless and learned to use the Computer….
The computer swallowed grandma.
Yes, honestly its true!
She pressed ‘control’ and ‘enter’
And disappeared from view.
It devoured her completely,

She must have caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.
I’ve searched through the recycle bin
And files of every kind;
I’ve even used the Internet,
But nothing did I find.

Emily, even though she is 3 years old, likes to play with some of the same things her 7 year old big sister does. But as far as her 3 year old Christmas wish list goes, she is totally her own person. I hope this wish list helps you with ideas on what to give your 3 year old for Christmas. Some of the items on this list are appropriate for a 3 year old boy, too.

Remember this poem, Christmas is Coming -
Christmas is coming,
The goose is getting fat,
Please to put a penny in an old man’s hat.
If you haven’t got a penny,
A half-penny will do,
If you haven’t got a half-penny,
