1) Speaking of misheard lyrics, Scarlette has this toy where you are supposed to match up the shapes. It’s a little bug and it sings and lights up. It was a hand-me down from one of her cousins and so the sound is a little off since I’ve yet to replace the batteries. For MONTHS I could not figure out why in the world it was singing “Short, short, short my sheets, short them slightly everywhere” to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat. I knew that couldn’t be right but I couldn’t make any sense of it. Until I mentioned it to her speech therapist, who pointed out that it is NOT singing about shorting sheets at all but rather “SORT, SORT, SORT MY SHAPES, CIRCLES LIGHTS AND SQUARES.” My poor child.
2) I wanted to remember to blog about this so I wrote “Short My Sheets” on the whiteboard in the kitchen when it came to mind. Then, as I am wont to do, I promptly forgot what that meant and couldn’t figure out what I was trying to tell myself about the laundry.
3) Getting Scarlette some oversized crayons is on my to-do list. I decided to try to color with her the other day and once we got past trying to eat the crayons, I thought she did remarkably well making red scribbles all over our dragon. Genius baby.
4) Scarlette is currently sitting next to me playing in an empty cardboard box. She seems very happy and not at all aware that she is sitting in a shipping container. I think this should be the cheapest Christmas ever.
5) I haven’t gotten around to drilling new holes for the hardware on the office filing cabinet. So I attached the knobs with Terrifically Tacky Tape. Which probably is tacky of me but they’ve stayed on an entire week.
