DIRECTION!

Julia has been singing some version of the "Habitat" song from Sesame Street. You can see her arrangement of it here:



In case you want to compare to the original song, you can link to a portion of the episode, complete with "Habitat" rap, below. I think I also finally know where her use of the expression "Boo-ya!" came from:

Shifting gears to Madeleine, she had the following to say to Ethan this morning:

MADELEINE: pushing one of the dining room chairs across the kitchen like a walker, stopping at the gate to grin with wild excitement at Ethan on the other side.
ETHAN: Hi, Madeleine!
MADELEINE: picking up a pair of sunglasses from the chair and holding them up to Ethan. Sssssheeeit. Ssssssheit.
ETHAN: I see. Those are some pretty neat glasses, Madeleine.
MADELEINE: gets too excited about the glasses and drops them while flapping them enthusiastically in the air. Uh. Uh.
ME: Uh-oh! You dropped them!
MADELEINE: crawling around after the glasses. Uh. Uh. Uh. Picks up glasses and holds them up again. Ssssheeeit. Sssssheit.

I look forward to the day when "shit" no longer means "look at this." Not that I want her using "shit" in any other capacity. But it will be nice if she chooses some other word, like, say, "look," or "see?" to show off her newly acquired items. However, given that we have WAY too many little toys and little pieces of things, perhaps her label is not so far off the mark.

  1. HAHAHAH. She was close! I don't even think I could figure out those words. I like how she had to do it with her sunglasses on. It WAS a rap after all.

    I just want to eat Madeleine's face off. Maybe next time she decided to say "sheeeet" it will be when you're changing her poopy diaper to which you can reply "YOU'RE RIGHT!!!"
