Adelaide made up her first rhyme. First, she asked for one of her favorite snacks: "Prune! Prune!" Then she followed it up with a mischevious grin: "Boom! Boom!"
Yesterday, Sadie hid in the bathroom with the light off and waited for Josie to come by. When the unsuspecting victim walked by, Sadie jumped out and yelled "BOOGITY BOOGITY!" Josie answered with a terrified "AAAAAAHHHH!!! Don't ever DO that!" Next, while Sadie cackled and laughed down the hallway, Josie came stomping through the kitchen with a mean look on her face. I said, "Josie, what did Sadie do? Josie, without looking up, kept on walking and said, "NUTHIN!"
This morning we were reading about Cain and Abel. The girls were enthralled with this story of jealousy, murder, and punishment. At the end when Cain says that everyone will try to kill him as he's wondering the land, God tells him that no one will hurt him, because God will mark him, to protect him. Sadie immediately draws a parallel to The Wizard of Oz story (not the movie), when the Good Witch Glinda kisses Dorothy on the head and marks her so that no one will dare to hurt her. I was thrilled with her thoughtful comparison! That's my girl!
