A Little Ditty for Day 4

Day 4.

"Sing Halloween Songs."

Somewhat complex with little ones, made even more complex to have a mother who knows no Halloween songs.

I did, however, make a little video (from JibJab) with the entire family (Cosmo included) singing the "Monster Mash".

It was hilarious and wicked and all things wonderful. I intended to showcase my photo-editing techniques and plaster my monster video into the blog-o-sphere. But the JibJab Web site is on my list. No matter how I try, the video will not embed.

So I leave you with no activity-centered photos. No brilliant video. But bear in mind that my daughter enjoyed the video so thoroughly that she was shouting "It was a graveyard smash. Waah-Oooo" all throughout Target tonight.

I will, however, leave you with another small Jane-ism, which occurred a few days ago:

"Mama. I want Cretoxyrhina." (said, from her little mouth, exactly "creh-TOX-see-RYE-nah".)

"I don't know what you're talking about. What's cretoxic, Jane?" (Under the impression she's talking gibberish.)

"Mama (long sigh), Cretoxyrhina. Dinosaur shark."

Sure enough, recorded on the DVR was "Carla Cretoxyrhina" from, you guessed it, Dinosaur Train. She'd pronounced the word correctly and was spot-on that this dinosaur is the predecessor of the shark.

Apparently, a 2-year-old has me slaughtered intelligence-wise in the dinosaur arena.
