for your viewing pleasure...

We sing the ABCs at home all the time, and we have for a long while - the song has even become part of Gavin's handwashing routine, a way for him to make sure he scrubs his hands long enough before rinsing. This video is take 2 - the first time, he was putting his hands in front of the camera [until I told him I'd let him watch it when we were done, that prompted full cooperation]. You may notice that he skips J, and of course lmnop is all one letter. We're working on it :)



"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is a newer favorite at home. I don't know if he learned it with Kelly or at school, but he's just recently starting singing "twinkle." I'm sad that I didn't get it on camera when he was still singing "crinkle crinkle little star." Oh well. Still cute.



By the time we got around to singing "Wheels on the Bus," Gavin was really into it. My favorite part is when he gets to the driver on the bus.



Colin's not singing yet, but he is starting to sign! I'll try to get video of that soon. He's been signing when he's finished [at the table usually, though the other day he signed he was finished after some bath tub water swallowing/sputtering, which was cool - the signing, not the sputtering!]. His wave [hello or goodbye] is starting to look more and more like a real wave, too - it started as him clenching his fists and opening them again, at his sides or wherever his hands were, and now he's starting to point his hand in the direction of whatever/whoever he's waving at. Most recently he's starting signing "more." Today he had barely put a bit of marshmallow in his mouth and was already signing for more. The kid has a sweet tooth, what can I say?
