Can't Sleep

Papa: I can't sleep.

Mama: Well, then why don't you get up and do something productive, like go wash the dishes?

Papa: Thank you so much for helping baby, I am starting to get sleepy already!

No Singing!

Sarah starts to sing.

Stephen: No! No! No!

Papa: Stephen, you don't want Sarah to sing?

Stephen: No!

Papa: Stephen, do you want to sing?

Stephen (nods)

Stephen (clasping hands): Ooo ooo ooo (singing intonation and choir boy singing face)

New Song

Sarah made up another song today. Here are a couple of lines:

Me gusta ir a McDonald's
Me gusta ir a muchos lados

(I like to go to McDonald's
I like to go to a lot of places)

The two lines rhyme when she sings it...

Sarah's earlier song

Also she made up a song (more of a cheer, really) about In-N-Out today:

In-N-Out! In-N-Out!
Kakadalatka
In-N-Out! In-N-Out!

I wish I could write down every one she makes up as it comes out.. She has some real potential for talent if I knew how to cultivate her songwriting ability.

Bicycle

Sarah's Christmas wish for a bicycle was fulfilled the other day at a garage sale. It's a nice pink one with training wheels that she can already ride. She has been riding it around the apartment all by herself and today she rode it all the way to the park and back with Mama.

Mama's Shirt

Papa: Look, Mama's shirt is black and white.

Sarah: Right! She's a zebra!

More Coloring

Stephen is not to be left out on the coloring... This one is his first real effort.

Chili

Papa made a big batch of chili the other day. Not sure which ingredient it was but it made us all ill (or so we believe). It did tast pretty good, though. Last night Mama and Papa worked together to make a new batch.

However, nothing compared to Mama's own apple cake recipe she prepared for us last week. Mostly apples with a little bit of breading. Yum!
