Scary Song

The girls have been into Dora songs lately. We have three Dora CD's in the car and have listened to them over and over. Every time we go anywhere they want to listen to Dora. I let them because it is much nicer to listen to the same annoying songs over and over than listening to kids fight with each other... Dora sings "The Rhythm is gonna get you" on one of the discs. Sydnee told Justin and me that if she hears that song at night, it scares her. We explained what rhythm is and what it means by "gonna get you." Syd decided that it wasn't a scary song after all.

Justin took Justee swimming during one of Charlee's swimming lessons last week. She is always trying to get in the pool while we are watching Charlee, so we thought Justin could take her in and then she wouldn't be such a pain. Turns out that she just wants to be in with the other kids and not away from them. She warmed up to it after a while, but she wasn't that excited about her first real time in a pool. (She has been in a pool when she was a little baby, but that doesn't count.)
Justee likes to empty most of the toys out of her "toy baskets" that we keep in the living room, and sit in them. Here she is this morning, relaxing in her basket and enjoying an animal cracker. She has been saying a lot of words lately. When I get the camera out she says "cheese" and she is in that phase where she says hi to everyone who goes past. She loves to throw things and then say uh-oh. She "sings" during hymns at church and along with her sisters while they are singing to their Dora songs.

Mark left this morning to go to Lovell. He finally started feeling better last night, and then he had to leave. At least we got a little Guitar Hero in this morning before he left.
