Fancy Hat and a Robot Cat

This cat meows and purrs. Its name is “Meow Meow” if you ask Ezri. Ivan calls her “Kitty Witty” but Ezri assures me that is just a nickname.

Ezri selected Meow Meow at her school’s annual Toy Swap run by the school’s Earth Club. We traded in some plastic elephants, puzzles, and magnetic travel games. Ivan selected a bat mobile and a cement mixer. Both kids are very pleased with their new toys. It was a great way to trade toys and let the kids “shop” for themselves. Every toy swapped gets you one ticket. Each ticket gets you a new toy. So, there’s no need to understand money or change or to figure what you have enough to buy.
