Last night, before going to bed. I lay Andrea down and we sang head, shoulder’s, knees and toes. I held each of her body part while singing the song. After my song number she was giggling so I did it again (see Marj, I’m taking a chapter from your book).
I decided to ask her after my song. Andrea where’s your head?
Imagine my shock when she held her head with both hands.
I screamed and called out to Ruy and told him “Look! Look at what she’s doing!”
We weren’t sure if she just touched her head accidentally so we asked again. And she held her head again.
We were still doubtful so we decided to ask “Where’s your tongue?” and she immediately stuck out her tongue. We then asked again “Where’s your head?” and she held her head.
It was a proud moment for myself I’m telling you. I felt like I was about to burst with pride.
I think I’ll faint when Andrea graduates from pre-school.
Addendum:
This morning, her yaya asked her to wipe her mouth. She got the bib and wiped around her mouth. Then she held the bib. I guess she realized that it looked like her bandanna so she put it on top of her head and looked around as if waiting for us to clap. (Everyone claps and shouts whenever she does her tricks)…

This singing crappola really works. Once I start singing Jingle Bells, Rachel stops crying or if she’s not crying, she’ll give out a big smile. I need to start her on that my head, my shoulders thing. Because of singing she now knows how to press her little “radio” thingy and I’ll start singing whatever it plays. At least there is one person in the whole wide world that adores my singing voice
