Sing Songy

Spliggle has been "singing" "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," but since he doesn't have the words, it is more like "Ee-ka, Ee-ka, Uuu-uh, Whaaaa!" but he is spot-on with the melody!

Over at my parents’ house this weekend for my Dad’s birthday, my mom sang a little song “Rocking, rocking, two boys are rocking” over and over again as Splig and the Cat squished together on the rocker. Spliggle would then imitate the song and rock himself rapidly to prompt my mom to sing again.

Then the Cat has been singing “Winter Wonderland” from one of his Thomas videos. He’s decided to play a snowy adventure tape that has several winter scenes. For about a week now, he’s been rewinding it and playing it repeatedly. Of course it is 80 and sunny outside, but we’ve been hearing plenty of stories of Christmas Cheer. (So much so that I have done the majority of my Christmas shopping already online and just purchased $40 worth of holiday wrapping paper and ribbon from the boy down the street for his school’s fundraiser.)

The other thing the Cat has been doing is mimicking me working with dumbbells. I found him last night watching Thomas, repeatedly moving the weights up and down. “I am exercising!” he proclaimed earnestly. Click on the photo to see more of his “poses” from Flickr (he actually said to me “Get lots of picturlers of me doing this!”):
