Some things I love about Charlotte...

I love the way she changes the words of songs or books to fit whatever we're doing. Yesterday she was singing (from the Sandra Boynton book), "Stomp your feet! Clap your hands! Everybody ready for go to Target!!"

There's a song from one of the Signing Time! shows that goes, "I can really behave at the office, I can really behave at the restaurant.." etc. Charlotte will sing, "I can really behave at Costco, I can really behave at Kroger." Another Signing Time! song says, "Choo choo, woo woo, here we go, all aboard, let's get on the zoo train." Usually as we're walking out the door Charlotte will change the words and sing, "... let's get on the Van!" There are many more songs she sings throughout the day. She is a non stop singing machine.

I also find it amusing when she tells a story about what we're going to do. I'll say, "Hey are you ready to go shopping with me?" And she'll of course fall over herself in her excitement, but then she'll go on to tell the story. "Once upon a time, Mommy, Sarah and Charlotte decided to go shopping. So they buckled their seatbelts and drove to Target."

She's fun.
