5 Lists of 5 Things

(c) 2009 Ms. Huis Herself at musenmutter.blogspot.com

Things my 4 1/2 year old daughter has read on her own this week:

• hot
• fat milk*
• low fat (on cereal box)
• fox
• And while looking at the word "time" in Pajama Time, she said, "Oh, that e is a silent e."

(I'd say we're raising a reader around here!)

Things Penguin has said lately:

• New. Egg! New. Egg!
• Fall out!
• No Hoppa! ... Oh, man.
  
• Na-na fix!
• No! O-tay butt!**
  

Translations of what Penguin's said lately:

• Mommy, please read me this great Good Egg book! [Thanks again, Mary Beth!]
• Hey, Mom, I just sort-of accidentally climbed out of my crib! [And at about the same age her sister did, too...]
  
• Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping! .... Oh, man!
  
• Hey, sister of mine, could you help me out with this problem I have? OR Hey, Mom, my nice sister just helped me with a problem I had!
• No! I don't want my diaper changed! My bottom is just fine, thank you very much!
  

Things I need to do this week:

• start doing The Shred again
• make Penguin's 2nd birthday cake & wrap her presents (When did she get so big?!?!?!)
  
• sign up for summer session dance class
• bring bag of stuff to Goodwill
• write baptismal gift thank yous
  

Things I'm currently fearing:

• Jillian Michaels
• the scale
• how long it's been since I last did the 30-Day Shred
• swimsuits
• doing push-ups
  

*the line above it was "2% reduced" which makes it all make sense.
** spelling of OK made more phonetic, 'cuz I think it's cuter as o-tay anyway. :)
