We’ve had a few morbid moments over the last week. It started in the car the other day when Courtney was telling Brooke about how she would learn a whole heap of new songs when she goes to ‘school’ next year. Courtney said there was a song about a pig that she learnt and started singing, in a mono tone…
“There once was a pig,
that went out and picked up a bone
and then the pig got hit by a train…”
It appears that CJ forgot the words – We hope.
Then on Sunday, the girls were checking out all the insects in the back yard. They caught a slatter bug and a caterpillar and had then in jars so they could watch what they did. When it came time to go, Dad told them to let the insects go.
Courtney says “We died the slatter bug… because it only had three legs left.” We’ll be keeping a close eye on her for a while, to make sure she is not learning too many new tricks from those boys at school.
On a lighter note, many will know that Brooke is often armed with her baby blanket. She has a favourite one, her “teddy bear nigh nigh”. She always fusses when she can’t find it and so on the weekend, Dad took on the challenge to wash it with Brooke knowing that it was going to get wet.
She went quite, are stared at the sink for a little while after Dad showed her how he was soaking it in Napisan, but when it came time to put it in the machine, both the girls were memorised. They spent at least ten minutes, kneeling on the ground in front of the washing machine, giggling and pointing every time they saw the nigh nigh go past in the window.
