So, there is very little logical about the way Harper behaves lately. One second she's the sweetest, most charming little gal you ever wanted to meet and the next she's hurling her toothbrush at you and screaming, "NO! MOM!I DO IT!" Yes, she calls me Mom now. I mean, why wouldn't she? She is two and Mommy is so for one-year-
olds.
Anyway, I throw this one out to the
blogosphere because it truly baffles me and I would love some help deciphering her code.
Nonnie recently bought us a new CD for the car. Thank you,
Nonnie. We really needed a new
cd. I have now listened to the
Backyardigans Greatest Hits more than I ever listened to U2's Joshua Tree and that is REALLY saying something sad.
Anyway, the new CD is a compilation of popular kids songs. The first one is the Alphabet Song. You know, "A,B, C, D,
EFG...." When this one comes on she squeals with delight and if I don't almost immediately begin to dance my a off in my seat she screams, "
C'mon MOM!
C'mon MOM!" as if she were coaxing me out onto the dance floor at a middle school social. I am a real sight to see at red lights.
Anyway, here's the part that's hard to figure out. When the next song comes on "
Itsy bitsy Spider" and I begin to sing and "dance" as previously instructed she screams, "NO! NO! NO MOM! IT'S MY FAVORITE!" If I don't cease and desist immediately she gets really upset and she's really serious about it. I have to admit that sometimes I just accidentally pick up the chorus at a red light or something "down the water spout" and she comes
un-glued.
So, what gives? Any thoughts? Please note that any comments on my singing voice will be chalked up as tired and
un-creative.
