Conversations

Despite his initial fears, William and Amelia have spent a great deal of time playing out the story from Cars 2. I happened to overhear this particular conversation:


William (as Lightening McQueen): Hi Mater!
Amelia (as Mater): Hi Lightening!
William: Hey Mater! Who is your favorite princess?
Amelia: ??????
William: You know, Ariel or Snow White or Pocahontas?
Amelia: Cinderella?

William came running out of his room a few nights ago. It was about his third time out of bed, which means it was time for a consequence. I started to stand up when he said: "No, Mama! I just need to tell you something! Thank you for the blanket you made for my bed! I just love it so much. It is snugly and warm like a giant hug! Thank you Mama!" and then he hightailed it right bad to bed while I tried to pull my chin off the floor.

Last week sometime I attempted to entertain William with music videos on my iphone as Amelia napped. In particular, I was looking for a camp song (Light the Fire) to use at a church event coming up. Two birds, one stone. Find a link to the song, keep William quiet so Amelia naps. I found a few renditions that were passable. William was tickled by the version that included a woman playing her guitar. He just couldn't get over how she had a "mama sized ukelele". I tried to correct him and explain about a guitar with no avail. It was a ukelele. A mama sized one. End of story.
