Singing, Stories, and Funny Word Associations
Yesterday we were looking at a picture of an elephant and I was talking about the elephant’s trunk. Morgan ran to the window of her bedroom and pointed out the window and said “Morgan’s trunk!” I was confused. I went and looked out the window. She was pointing at the car. Which does indeed have a trunk. And she does consider it hers.
She can very nearly sing the entire ABC song by herself, including the little end bit about ‘now I’ve sung my ABCs…”
And she will practically lead me through a retelling of Curious George Takes a Train from memory (ie, while we are driving in the car and the book is in her bedroom). “Come back son, that’s not our train!” “it was too late.” “boy crying.” “boy all done crying” “clapped and cheered” “george a hero!”
You gotta stay sharp to keep up with her these days.
