Lily's book of THIS week is: How the Crawfish Got Its Shell, by Cathy Lowry
She's been running around the house doing things and, when asked why she did them, yelling, "Because IIIIIIII'mmmmm a mosquito and thaaaaaaaaaaat's what I do!"
Also, Lily has started appropriately incorporating the Cajun-French exclamations into her vocabulary--which is adorable. She'll be running along, stumble over something and yell, "Oh yi, yi! Ca fait mal," loosely translated, "Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! It hurts!" It's hard not to laugh--she's just so cute randomly yelling in French.
Jello is even getting in on the book action--she IS hearing this book two or three times a day, whether she wants to or not, I don't know why I'm surprised. When she wiggles into a position that is terribly uncomfortable for me, I say , "Jello! Why you got to wiggle like that!?" To which Eric replies on her behalf, "Because IIIIIIIIIIIIIII am a baby and thaaaaaaaaaaaaat's what I do!"
Overall, it's a super-cute book and very appealing to the pre-school crowd if anybody is looking for something different to give their kids as a gift this year.
