So, Richey has a ball game (what's new?) and the girls and I were starvin' so we trucked our way to Domino's because Lexy wanted pizza. On the way she says, "I want Pizza Hunt, Mommy". I tell her I ordered from Domino's. So, when we pull in she's like, "Oh, so this is Pizzado's! Not Pizza HuNt." (emphasizing the N) So, funny,that girl...to hear her talk.
On the way home, we ditch the radio and decide to retell the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears together. She is poppa bear and I am momma and baby bear, plus the narrator. I was amazed at the details that girl remembered from the James Marshall version. Like when Goldilocks doesn't mind her mommy and she ignores all the signs that tell her not to go into the forest...Lexy remembered what every sign said except for I got her started...she remembered...very risky, not a good idea, turn back, danger! As I got to the part where the three bears were going for a ride she mentions "on their rusty old bicycle" exactly the words from the book. She also remembered that when Goldilocks sat in baby bear's chair she "broke it to smithereens!" (timberines in Lexy language). I called it "bits" and she was quick to remind me of the real words. Anyway, I thought I'd share our drive to town and back. It's always fun with Lexy...she's a treat! So, is my silent one! Peace!
