For Kailey & Hermie

Yesterday Little John picked out a toy at Target for Kailey. He apparently was very particular and didn't want all the girly things, he had something more fun in mind. He chose this cute little thing and wanted to give it to her as soon as he got home but she was asleep. He ran in her room and chunked the toy into her crib but, fortunately, she wasn't there. She was in my room in her bassinet. Anyway, he couldn't wait to give it to her and as soon as I opened it (and removed all the incredibly annoying little ties that kept it in the box!!!) he ran and gave her the toy. It was a sweet moment to watch. The final piece he decided to play with himself because it was a caterpillar and reminded him of Hermie. Hermie is very special at our house. If any of you haven't tried the Hermie videos, you'll have to check them out. I get a huge kick out of John saying, "Look, it's Max!" whenever Max Lucado does the introduction. Hermie teaches us lots of wonderful things about honesty, courage, God's design for us, obedience, and friendship. That's my kind of video.

Hi Courtney. I looked on the Hermie Videos website and I was wondering if you could recommend some good ones. My son Hayden is 18 months old. Are there any appropriate for his age? Thanks! Andrea

We are Hermie lovers at our house as well . . in fact, we are due to go pick up our "pre-bought" one about "Mile - the Mantis who wouldn't pray". Makes me giggle just saying the name. Can't wait to watch it!! he!

Andrea, we actually love all of them. The very first Hermie is great and John is a big fan of Buzby as well. I think he started to really enjoy them right around 18 months or 2 years. I hope Hayden likes them as much as we do!
