DD's love affair with jazz continues. Her new favorite CD is Love Supreme by John Coltrane.

I asked her what she was going to ask for Christmas this year and she only wants one thing: a human skeleton that she can assemble and take apart. I assume she means a plastic model as opposed to a real one.

So, she is beside herself happy that there are skeletons everywhere because of Halloween. It gives her ample opportunities to practice naming bones.

I honestly don't know what to make of it but I don't think Santa can afford a $600 life-size skeletal model this year.

Mana, if your DD's fine motor skills are strong, I've seen desktop anatomical models for around $20:

Here's. 34" plastic model for $55:

At the same site, you can also buy x-ray negatives!

What is to give light must endure burning.
