Little Miss Muffet

My mom was visiting this weekend and we were talking about nursery rhymes and whether I had tried to teach any to Marley. Apparently one of my favorite nursery rhymes as a child was "Little Miss Muffet" so we thought we would try that one out with Marley. She caught on really well - here's her version . . .

Little Miss Muffin
Sat on a tuffin
Eating her turds of whey (as she pretends to spoon it in her mouth)
Aloooooong came a spider (said in a deep voice with much emphasis on "along")
Sat beside her (insert command for YOU to be the spider)
And frighten her away!! (as she runs away squealing)

Live video coming soon!!! :)

Mouses!!

So I was taking Marley to preschool a couple of weeks ago when she says from the backseat, "Mommy, my tummy hurts." I respond, "It does?" And she says, "Yes, I need for you to put some lunch in it."

While stifling a laugh, I say into the rear view mirror, "Really? Well I just put some breakfast into it, so it shouldn't hurt too bad." She replies firmly, "No, I need a sandwhich in it!"

(Unfortunately, I had not packed a sandwhich in her lunch today and proceed to tell her what I did pack.) "Well your lunch today is yogurt raisins, cucumber, ham slices, crackers and cheese." She then says very enthusiastically, "Cheese?!? I LOVE cheese!!! You know what else likes cheese, Mommy?"

I reply, "What Marley?"

She yells, "MOUSES!!!!"

And we both crack up! I love that kid!
