Singing ABCs

For quite some time we have told Tessa to sing her ABCs while her food cools off. At first, it was me singing the ABCs while she waited. Now that she can do it by herself (only missing a few letters) she sings them all the time when she is told to wait for something. It could be food that needs to cool off, or it could be a waffle in the toaster, or for me to finish something and read her a book, or anything else.

Well the other day she was talking to me about how her baby sister's swing was broken (bloken), and needed batteries. I told her we would do that before her baby sister comes. Her response was, "I sing ABCs Baby Sister come real soon."

If only it was that easy...

Baby Sister Where Are You?

While putting a carseat cover on the newborn carrier today, Tessa told me the following: Mommy, I binoculars (as she cups her hands around her eyes). I looking for baby sister. (She then goes over to the window and screams) Baby Sister where are you? Mommy, Baby Sister close not far away."

Maybe she knows something I dont...probably not. But regardless she is very excited and anxious to meet her sister. Lets hope the enthusiasm lasts past the birth of the child.
