Lulu and the Coin

One day Lulu woke up and got ready to have breakfast. Her mommy asked her whether she wanted eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. Today Lulu couldn't decide, and she said she didn't know. Then Lulu's mommy took out a coin and gave it to Lulu. Mommy said that it was a decision coin, and Lulu could use it to choose. 


Lulu asked how it worked. And mommy said that the decision coin has two sides, one side is heads, and the other side is tails. And she said Lulu could flip the coin into the air, and then catch it and open her hand to see if it was heads or tails. If it was heads, then Lulu would eat eggs. If it was tails, then Lulu would eat oatmeal. 


Lulu agreed and flipped the coin. It went up in the air and Lulu caught it in her hand. Then she opened her hand and saw that it was heads side up. And Lulu ate eggs for breakfast. Then Lulu helped clean up the dishes. After breakfast, Lulu didn't know whether she wanted to read or draw. Her mommy suggested using the decision coin. 


If it was head then Lulu would read. If it was tails then Lulu would draw. Lulu said okay, and she flipped the coin. It went up into the air and Lulu caught it again. She opened her hand and saw that this time it was tails side up. Lulu put the coin in her pocket, and took out her notebook to draw for a while. 


After Lulu finished drawing in her notebook, it was time to go to the park with mommy. Lulu didn't know whether she wanted to ride her scooter or her bicycle to the park. Mommy again suggested using the decision coin. If it was heads, Lulu would ride her scooter. If it was tails, Lulu would ride her bicycle. 


Lulu took the coin out of her pocket and flipped it into the air. She caught it and opened her hand to see which side was facing up. The coin showed that tails was facing up, and Lulu rode her bicycle. When Lulu and her mommy arrived at the park, Lulu went to go play on the playground. 


After they had been there for a long time, Lulu's mommy said that it was time to go. Lulu said that she wanted to stay for a longer time. Mommy suggested that they used the decision coin to see whether they would leave now, or stay longer. If the coin showed heads they would go home now. If the coin showed tails, they would stay for ten more minutes. 


Lulu flipped the coin into the air and caught it. She opened her hands and the coin showed heads side up, and Lulu agreed to go home now. When they arrived at home they got ready for dinner. After eating dinner, Lulu's mommy said that Lulu should take a bath. After her bath Lulu didn't know which pajamas to wear. 


And mommy said that if the coin showed heads, she can wear her unicorn pajamas. And if the coin showed tails, she can wear her cat pajamas. Lulu flipped the coin into the air and caught it. She opened her hand and saw that the coin showed heads. She put on her unicorn pajamas. Then Lulu brushed her teeth, but she didn't want to go to bed yet. 


She asked her mommy if she could stay up, and mommy said it was time for bed. Then Lulu asked if she could let the decision coin decide. Mommy said okay. If the coin showed heads, Lulu could stay awake longer. If the coin showed tails, then Lulu would have to go to bed. 


Lulu flipped the coin in the air, and this time her mommy caught the coin. Lulu's mommy opened her hand and said the coin showed tails. And then Lulu laughed and said goodnight. She laid down, closed her eyes, and went to sleep, slowly slowly slowly.

Hidden under hats

One day Lulu was getting ready for her friends Sally and Jimmy to come over and have lunch together. While getting ready, Lulu decided to wear a hat today. So she went to the closet and picked out a nice hat. It was a red knit hat with a puff ball on top.  Lulu liked how it looked on her, and then she picked out a book to read while she waited for her friends. Sally arrived first, and when she knocked on the door, Lulu answered it. Lulu smiled when she saw Sally, because Sally was also wearing a hat.  She was wearing a brown knit hat, and it was just round on top, with no puff ball like Lulu’s hat. Sally came in and saw Lulu wearing a hat, and Sally said it was funny that they were both wearing hats today. Then Sally picked out a book to read with Lulu, while they waited for Jimmy.  After a few minutes, Jimmy arrived and knocked on the door. Lulu answered it, and smiled again when she saw Jimmy, because today Jimmy was also wearing a hat. Jimmy had an orange knit hat, wit...

A Can of Paint

One day Lulu was getting ready to go for a bicycle ride. She put on her helmet and took her bicycle outside. She rode past the park and reached a large parking lot. The parking lot was empty today, and there were no cars parked there. Instead, Lulu saw that there were some artists drawing things on the ground.  Lulu got off her bicycle and walked up to the artists. She asked them what they were making. They told her that they were making different designs with paint. Then they told Lulu that she could also join them if she wanted. Lulu said she would like to do that. She wondered what she could make.  The artists gave Lulu a can of paint, and a paintbrush. Lulu walked to a blank spot in the parking lot and she took the lid off the can of paint. She dipped the paintbrush into the paint and started to draw a circle. Then she drew short lines coming out of the circle, and this represented the sun.  Then she drew some wavy lines into the shape of some bubbles. And this repres...

Zebra Can't Find Any Spoons

One day Zebra was making some oatmeal for lunch. Zebra opened a drawer in the kitchen to get out a spoon, but there were no more spoons. Then Zebra remembered she had lent all her spoons to Bunny for an art project. Zebra went next door to Tiger's place, to borrow a spoon from Tiger. Zebra knocked on the door and Tiger opened it.  Zebra told Tiger that she didn't have any more spoons in her kitchen drawer. Tiger invited Zebra in and they went to his kitchen. When Tiger opened his kitchen drawer, there were no spoons in there either. And Tiger also remembered that he had lent all his spoons to Bunny for an art project.  Then they went to their friend's place next door, and asked their friend Elephant if she had a spoon to borrow. She checked her kitchen drawer and all her spoons were gone. She also lent her spoons to Bunny who was making an art project. Then Zebra, Tiger, and Elephant went to look for Bunny and see the art project.  They went to Bunny's home and when the...
