Songs, Checkers, and Bullfrogs

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

. . . Todd copying the fake burping sound I keep trying to discourage Anna from making.  The boy doesn't say a single word yet, but his replication of Anna's fake burp is spot on (it sounds like the noise I imagine a young bullfrog would make if you stepped on its toe).  

Today's favorite moments included . . .


. . . hearing Joy and Daniel sing the songs they'll be performing in the Fall Sing at school next month.  I love that they enjoy the tunes so much that they burst in to song together on the way home from school.

And another thing . . .

. . . one of the benefits of having a checkers app installed on our iPad is that none of the pieces get lost when Todd decides to upend it, like he did with the old-school set this morning.  You know you have multiple small children when you see checkers rolling in every direction and don't even ask if some will be missing after you gather them all up.  We already have one milk cap stand-in checker in the set; why not add a few more?

Truly, what is it with the fake burping? Liam is also into the fake burping thing and of course, Ewan does everything big brother does. Ah...shared experiences. :)

Ironically, Anna's fascination was sparked by a couple burps she witnessed on Starfall.com and a Cat in the Hat video. I let her watch those things mainly because they're supposed to be educational. Hopefully she's learning a few things about letters and basic science, in addition to the fact that burps are funny. :-/
