As promised, the video of Mags singing the ABCs backwards. She does pretty great until the last three letters. And at the very end what she says is "Next time won't you sing in my Lexus." You know, to rhyme with "Now I know my ZYXs," if she'd sung it that way. She's asked me for a long while to sing it backwards for her, but I didn't know she could do it herself until about a week ago when I heard her doing an alphabet puzzle and singing to herself. Pretty neat!
We're still in the "May I?" phase, which I'm loving. But we're also entering the "naptime and bedtime are a struggle" phase. She's doing her darnedest to find ways to procrastinate, even sinking so low as to ask for teeth brushing before naps. And more and more often she's skipping the nap altogether. She stays in her room, but she talks and talks and sometimes she'll get out of bed to get some toys. And then there is one cranky kiddo around here. Not to mention one cranky mama too. I'm beginning to fear the end of the napping era. But still, when she does fall asleep, it's for 2 or 3 hours. How can it be that you need that much extra sleep only 2 times a week? Didn't anybody explain logic to this child?
