This cute little guy named Norman is not only a fun toy for your kids, it has a story behind the name…and noise too! Norman PhartEphant the Farting Elephant was inspired by an actual African elephant found in a US Zoo. Upon arriving to his new home, his change of diet caused him to have the poots. From the zoo and sometimes beyond, Norman explores the meaning of family and friends, and the many cultures of the world. The first Norman book will arrive close…

Weeks 3, 4, 5…it was like O.K. wait a minute what did…
So, my kid is funny. And I’m sure your kids are funny. In fact I know they’re funny and sweet and say all kinds of clever things! When I saw this idea Jaxon wasn’t even talking yet…but it’s one I remembered! I started it a few months ago but it only lasted a day or so. But on the 1st I started it again. What is it? It’s the“Jar of Jaxon”. Yes, that’s the best I could come up with for now! The idea is…
