Yesterday on our way back home, I asked Sean what he had for lunch and he said 'Chocolate'. I knew he didn’t remember coz I'm sure he must have hardly ate any lunch. I had checked the lunch menu on our way out and knew it was 'Fish Sticks and tater tots'. Not one of his favs …
Anyways as we drove home I asked him,
Sean, what is your favorite food? and he said Chicken Nuggets!
Me: What else?
Suddenly he got very excited and said,
Sean: Chocolate!!
Me: What else?
Sean: Pink lemonade! and after a pause he shouted COKE!!
In my mind i kept thinking ...he loves all the junk food ...just like his mama :)
After a few moments he shouted Green Coke.
Me(puzzled: Green Coke?
Sean: Yeah! We have it at home...
I'm pretty sure he was referring to the ginger ale...maybe thats slightly better than coke i thought…with the ginger and all..it must be good for your tummy right?
Anyways as i was smiling at all his fav foods the scene from the movie ‘The Sound of Music’ came to mind when Julie Andrews asks the kids what their favorite things were and then breaks into the song 'Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kitten...these are a few of my favorite things!!'
I wish I could compose a song the same way with Sean’s list of favorite things...he would have enjoyed it so much! He loves music !!
Speaking of music...he is so in love with 'Little Einstein’s' now ...I like them too partly because they have lot of classical music in their shows and their theme song is catchy and I hum it all the time. We didn’t know the words till couple of days ago so I went online and found it and printed it for him and even though he cannot read he treasured that paper like it was his bible and kept asking me to sing it for him all the time. Its amazing that after just 1 day he picked up the lyrics and he knows the song all too well now.I need to record it soon...its verys ute to haer him sing- he's so proud of himself :)
So these days on our way home we sing the Little Einstein song and the he'll say,
Mama, sing the jingle bells song with me mama...
I love the way he asks me...so we both break into 'Jingle bells...Jingle Bells!!!'
Soon after he'll say lets sing the 'Nose song' .
The first time I didn’t have a clue but soon I knew...he wanted me to sing 'Rudolf the red nosed reindeer'...
I love our drive back home these days...i cant wait for Rhea to join us soon...I can tell she takes after her cheta...whenever a song comes on tv she goes very quiet and is glued to it...at the end of it she'll have a big smile on her face :)
