Progress ... sort of

We wrote before about Lillie's singing prowess or lack thereof, but she is making progress. Tonight we asked her to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" to see how far she'd come:

Bla bla sheep sheep have you any wools?
Yesso yesso three bags four.
One for my miss and one for the sis who is down the street.
Bla bla sheep sheep have you any wools?
Yesso yesso three bags fourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

As you can see not exactly quite right yet. So you can imagine our surpise when we asked her to sing "Row Your Boat" (which we had never done before) and it came out perfect ... kind of.

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a croc-a-dile
Don't forget to scream

Not the same version we learned back in the 70s, but some good advice as we get close to the summer months.

I agree with Lilly.. if I see a croc I won't forget to scream. Love that little girl. Mary

About Me

After having lived our entire lives in Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas, there's really only one logical place for us to move to next. Yep, that's right ... Shanghai, China. Follow along with us on our journey to the Orient as we learn Mandarin, feast on chicken feet, and experience Asia!
