Yesterday Leah was getting a bit fidgety going through the store. She had been in the cart, out of the cart, walking, in the seat of the cart, out of the cart, in my arms, out of my arms. She's just too big for me to carry for too long so I held her and propped her on the handlebar. I think people judged me for it but oh well.
So finally, I thought of a game to play.
Me: Jack and Jill went up the...
Leah: mountain!
Me: hill. Jack and Jill went up the hill.
Leah: Oh.
Me: To fetch a pail of...
Leah:....fish?
Me: water.
Leah: oh water?
Me: Yes, water.
Leah: Oh.
Both: To fetch a pail of water!
Me: Jack fell down and broke his...
Leah: ...ankle?
Me: crown.
Leah: oh crown.
Me: Jack fell down and broke his...
Leah: head?
Me: Actually, yes. The part up here on your head is called the crown of your head. So when you say crown, it means he bonked his head.
Leah: Hey I have a crown!
Me: Yes. Yes you do.
Both: Jack fell down and broke his crown.
Me: And Jill came tumbling...
Leah: ...down.
Me: after. Jill came tumbling after.
It took us a few times but she was finally able to say it all the way through. I'm sure people in the store thought we were crazy. But I'm used to crazy looks. Especially since Leah never says anything quietly. We always draw stares. Oh well!
