I am posting a picture of this shirt as a prop for what the kids were saying yesterday at snack time. For those who haven't seen this shirt, everyone, beginning with the children think this looks just like me. And I'm in agreement. Anyhow, we're sitting at the snack table and Nora looked at the shirt like it was the first time she'd seen it and exclaimed; "Gary Flying!!" I hooted and hollered and Riley was cheering! Mia, who wasn't watching and didn't have a clue what the cheering was about yelled, "GO GRIZ!!" LOL I laughed so hard!
Mia and I were sitting on the step under the window and that is where the children usually sit when we sing some songs together. Nora then sat in my usual spot and started singing, "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and doing all the actions. About half way through the song Mia chimes in with "Mary had a little lamb" so Nora switches right to that one! Then back to "Head and Shoulders" and doing it really fast. (We usually do it three or four times and go faster every time.) By this time Mia is now loudly bellowing "Twinkle twinkle little star…" And on it goes. :) Pretty soon she began using one of the drums and singing "Mary had a little lamb" again.
Mia was talking on the phone again too and I heard her saying, "Hi Mommy….feel good?" I asked her what was wrong with Mommy and she said, "Throat hurt!!" :) She was also saying, "Hi Jamie!!" (That's Riley and Cooper's Mommy for those that don't know.)
I was proud of Mia for using her words very well this morning when someone (usually Cooper) was getting in her personal space or taking a toy, etc. Their first instinct is to scream or strike back, but she was saying, "Help me Gary!" which is what I've been teaching them to say. Good job Mia!
