ThaiHoa — I agree, your little girl must be thriving in the sunshine of your full attention.I'm pretty sure Dr. Lisa would agree you are giving her developing brain lots of the most nourishing kind of stimulation.Bravo!

Cowardly Lion:

Courage. What makes a King out of a slave? Courage.

What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage.

What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist or the dusky dusk?

What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage.

What makes the Sphinx the 7th Wonder? Courage.

What makes the dawn come up like THUNDER?! Courage.

What makes the Hottentot so hot?

What puts the "ape" in ape-ricot?

Whatta they got that I ain't got?

Dorothy & Friends Reply:Courage!
