Darn You, Bob Marley!

You know what's the worst? When you're trying to discipline your naughty 3 year old child, sticking them in time out because they kept spitting out their rice during dinner, and when you go in to check on them at the 'half way point', you find them happily bobbing their head and singing: "Don't worry, 'bout a thing. Every little thing's gonna be all right. Don't worry, about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be all right! Rise up this morning, smiling with the sun . . . "
Stupid infectiously happy Bob Marley music. I'm trying to punish and dissuade here!


Here's Annie reading her Cinderella book today. If for the first 18 seconds you can't understand a single word, that's 'cause Annie has suddenly (just today) started speaking in her a language of her own making. It's kinda odd. (About the 0:18 mark she suddenly starts talking about the godmother and the coach and horses and stuff though. In actual English.)


(There's more videos of Annie talking about the book, along the lines of, "Then her stepsister tried on her slipper, but it didn't fit her." The best part is when she quickly wets her finger in her mouth before dramatically turning a page . . . it's really cute, but in the middle of a 1:45 second clip, and I'm too lazy to open iMovie and do some editing).

And just a reminder to not piss off Ellie:

Annie has the sweetest little voice. She did an excellent job of reading her book, even in her own language.

I listened to Ellie's scream of protest several times....it was hilarious!

Greg watched the shrieking angry Ellie video over and over again, just chuckling . . . it makes me smile too; until I remember that this pretty much sums up my daughters' interactions with each other the last few days perfectly! :-)

I like how the horses turned into mice at the same time the pumpkin turned into a coach... It would seem that the horses would have been more help.
