BB's Book

P made BB books for everyone at his birthday party. He carefully picked various shades of green felt to be seamed with gold (of course) thread. In the middle of each cover was a fleece BB. I'll try and remember to post a pic.

He started to fill his book a few weeks later, but it has since laid dormant. Today, he pulled it out and first illustrated, then narrated, the stories. For posterity's sake:

Page 1:
This is BB's apartment building. He lives on the top floor. Here is the street below. He wishes he lived on the bottom floor because he is scared he will fall to the bottom and die and get droven over by cars that are going really fast on the highway. (This is accompanied by a drawing of BB's building, a highway and some blurry fast cars.)

Page 2:
BB is looking out the window and he is looking down at the street below, wishing he was at the bottom floor with his friend, Bonjour Vet. And while he was looking out he fell out the window! He was fine.

And, he gone right back up. He went up 1 stairway, 2 stairway, 3 stairway, 4 stairway , 5 stairway , 6 stairway , 7 stairway , 8 stairway , 9 stairway .

And gone upstairs and he played with his toys. He had a truck, a digger, a robot, a Hess truck, 2 bottles of wine and a muffin. Those are all his toys. And he broke his robot and he, BB, glued it! Why he had to glue it was this: he had to glue it because he was flying it around and crashed it in the wall. Mhmm. (This is accompanied by a picture of BB's building with many, many stairs.)

Page 3:
He, BB, did this. He gone downstairs and he gone in a room. And know what? He visited his big brother, Phoenix! And that's all on this page, so go on to the next! (Drawing: BB, with his aforementioned toys, the robot careening off of the wall and BB's building too.)

Page 4:
One rainy day, when he was out and about with his umbrella, named Bessie, he stubbed his toe. He just kept walking. He didn't break it though. That's good!
And know what happened? A big T-Rex came bounding down the sidewalk. Bam, bam, boom, boom bam! And you know what? He stepped on BB's toe... that he'd stubbed! Then BB went straight home. (Drawing: BB, with umbrella, outside many buildings, stacked together, with huge clouds above and rain streaking down.)

Page 5:
BB was going on a hike in Colorado and, know what? He almost got eaten by a mountain lion! Know what? And then he got washed away in the waterfall! And then he almost gone on a path, but know what? The path was blocked off by caution cones and a sign that said, "Keep out, Danger. Bears, mountain lions and snakes, porcupines... are all over the place." And know what? That is the first on this page.

And then what happened is this. He almost got eaten by a bear! (P then reads the book to BB and amends the ending to this particular story with:)

He did! He got eaten by it! (Drawing: Little BB, huuuuuge bear.)



Love and torture, two sides to the same coin in this relationship :)
