How is it that the simple lyrics of a song can be transformed into the cutest thing when sung by an innocent pre-schooler! Ethan has provided me with a real gem! I have no idea where he has heard Maddona's, Like a Virgin, but he walks around the house singing it! A part of me cringes as he sings away in his cute, fairly tuneful little voice, but as the words emerge from his mouth I have to stifle a chuckle every time...."Like a surgeon, cut for the very first time" repeated over and over just makes me giggle and I have no intention of telling him what the words really are! Mind you I am still puzzled as to where he has heard the song as it is such an old one and I certainly never play it and I can't even remember hearing it on the radio lately. All I can figure is that he has got it off another child at kindy who thinks he's a bit of a smarty pants! Oh well.
I do have the new Pink album and that has been playing in the car! Ethan has taken a shine to the lyrics of one of her songs and sings it over and over. "This used to be a fun house, but now its full of evil clowns!" Obvioulsy the idea of evil clowns appeals to him, no fear or fobias of clowns in this little boy and once again he just sounds so darn cute singing it! I keep asking him if he is an evil clown! He just laughes with one of those laughs that make you wonder if he really is!!
Ethan has also lost his first baby tooth! He fell over in his bedroom and hit his mouth! Needless to say, there was blood everywhere and a tooth no longer in his mouth! I had no idea it was even loose, but thankfully a new tooth is pushing its way through so the bump didn't knock it out prematurely!
Kaitlyn has added to her teeth and her vocabulary! She now has her first 4 molars as well as the top 2 eye teeth! My goodness they just don't stop coming!! Hopefully this whole teething business stops soon! She now has 14 teeth in total! And she knows how to use them!
The little miss has started to regularly say, ooooohhh yuck! Lachlan had brocken the plastick container with olives in it and made a bit of a mess, so while he was cleaning it up, Kaitlyn stood there pointing and repeatedly saying oooohhh yuck, oohh yuck! Very funny! She now says more, yes and no as well as bath, uh oh, and hot. I'm sure she thinks she is saying a whole lot more to us, but for now it has to be filed in the 'gobbledy goop' department until I can decifer it a little better! We were out for tea on Friday night and she was in fine form with her talking, complete with picking up a piece of sausage, saying hot, hot, eating it and then proceeding to spit it out, saying ohhh yuck, then followed by picking up the pieces and tossing them on the floor with a uhoh! Slightly naughty, but oh so cute!
I certainly know I have boys that are getting older....major attitude at times! We received an email from Lachlans teacher, requiring us to see her about his behaviour!! Oh, cringe, shudder, whince! If his at home behaviour is anything to go by, I'm dreading what he is doing at school! I find it so hard to reconcile the sweet loving child that he can be to the angry little monster he can become when provoked! We haven't even reached the teen years! Oh, preserve us!
In scrapping news, I had another LO on the Chatterbox blog the other week. My Chatterbox work is about all I am doing lately! Sad but true! If it wasn't for the deadlines I would be a very redundant scrapbooker! Here is the LO
And just for good measure, here is a LO I haven't shared here yet. I have a love affair with yellow! It jsut makes me happy!

The lyrics thing is cute. And, just so you know, Wierd Al sang "Like a Surgeon" Maybe he heard that song. Great LOs. I especially love the blue and yellow one.

Oh, Ethan is singing Like A Surgeon, not Like A Virgin. Weird Al Yankovic sang the rip off song sometime in the 90s. Very funny! Your LO's are just beautiful... and I did receive a very lovely, very thoughtful little gift in the mail today.
You're so very, very clever... and I know why you're my bestie :-) xx
