Ovenplace

Tonight, we read Goodnight Moon. Joe followed the little mouse from page to page, but was also intensely interested in the fireplace which he was intermittently calling the "ovenplace." No doubt because he knows the oven is hot ("no touch," "Mommy Daddy only") and had been told the fire place was hot inside, but made the room warm. He noted we did not go inside the ovenplace, and Julie quickly concurred. This ain't no wardrobe with a magical wood beyond, and we're fresh out of Floo Powder. But then, we're fresh out of ovenplaces, too.
