Happened?!?

The word boom is here!! Just as predicted in all the wise little baby books, the amazing word boom has arrived!!! Nicholas is just a little sponge!! So watch your mouth!!! (You know who you are!) The best part about this word boom period is all the stories Nicholas is starting to tell!!

He has three favorite stories: What Happened to the Candle (A thrilling tale about a match that makes a flame and lights a candle that is soon blown out, sending the flame away) , Barney's Hurt (A drama about an innocent day on the swings that goes awry when Barney is kicked off the swing, goes Boom, and shakes loose his batteries so that he is obviously hurt and needs to be fixed), and The Loud Vacuum Clean-Up (A high-speed adventure about a helpful grocery-unloader with slippery palms who drops a jar of Gerber banana-strawberries, sending glass everywhere, and a giant, loud vacuum that saves the day). These stories are told many times throughout the day using the most important keywords as Nicholas recounts his exciting adventures.

The cutest thing about all these tales is that they start with Nicholas looking you straight in the eyes, shrugging with up-turned palms, and questioning "Happened?!"
