Scar-isms

S: "Mama, would you like to come to my pizza and English party tonight?"

E: "English party?"

S: "I'll give you English muffins."

Obviously, I said yes to that one.

Scarlett sleeps with a heavy pile of blankets, even when it's hot.  She wants every inch of her to be covered.  Once she's in bed, she calls us back in her room to make sure her head and feet are covered.  We come take her to go potty around 10:30 or 11, and she's sweating like crazy.  But she insists on this.

She's been making up songs where she just uses words of whatever is around her.  'shower, soap, Arnie song' etc.  

Today she kissed her new Dora toothbrush.

Today we- Scarlett and cousins- went to see the Frog & Toad play.  She wore her brand new Frog & Toad shirt (thanks Carrie!).  She was great for an hour, then fidgety for the last 15 or so minutes, but she seemed to really like it and she recognized the stories and only once asked for a snack.  Afterwards we sang these lines over and over: 'bamboo comes from a bamboo shoot / rutabaga comes from a rutabaga root / and Toad looks funny in his bathing suit'.

And, here is a short list of things Scarlett has suggested we get Charlie for Father's Day:

"a cousin for hoombah fish" 

"I know!  Some candy!"

"a cousin for Chubby" (which is nice, since Chubby is the whale toy she 'gave' Charlie so he'd have a friend to cuddle with at bedtime)
