sick dinosaurs and bears that talk helped us learn a small lesson or two.
he asked me to sing him a song i knew when i was a little girl. (i love when he asks things out of the blue!) the only thing that came to mind right away were nursery rhyme songs--
jack and jill
humpty dumpty
london bridge
he kept asking for song after song.
i forgot a few words of some of the more obscure ones,
so we went and got my mother goose book out that my grandparents gave me for christmas.
we opened the cover and there was a note from them, dated 1975.
i got a little teary.
we read and sang and sang and read.
little boy blue
what little boys are made of
little jack horner
colin loved it. we went through the over one hundred pages in this book with yellowed pages and drawings that they don't do anymore. i loved that he loved it. he asked if we could read them again later. how can i say no?
(i am trying to figure out how to use some of mother goose's vocabulary in my daily conversation...'betwixt' has got to fit in there somehow!)
