Getting Creative, Yep, Yep, Yep
Have you ever seen the Sesame Street martians? About a month ago, Nora watched a YouTube video with them in it, and she’s been talking about them ever since. For the first couple of days she mostly just talked about how they say, “Yep, yep, yep” and “were being silly.” Then she asked to watch…
