At about 6am the other day I was greeted by my waking three year old excitedly shouting, "Mommy, I can sing through my nose!"
Along with working on new talents, she loves getting into the crib with June, picking out all of her own clothes (see below), asking me to only talk in Spanish (fake Spanish of course) and playing a game she likes to call "mean Daddy." (he's not)
While June is getting big fast (check out those feet), Mags has obviously been going through some changes lately. This is due to the approaching "ferocious fours" and also because she's realizing that the little sister is here to stay (goodbye center of attention 24/7)
Anyway, after playing "name that tune" for a while with my snout-singing daughter, I called my sister and passed on the news of my kid's new talent.
A few days after that, my sister said to Magnolia, "I heard you can sing out of your nose."
Mags obliged her and did her nose puffing to the rhythm of "Twinkle Twinkle"
Then my sister said, "Can you sing out of your butt?" I think this was a rhetorical question of some sort but here's what happened next...
Magnolia paused, made a funny face, and blew so much loud gas out of her rear that I thought someone was playing a whoopee cushion joke on me.
Then she ended this improv session by saying "Now THAT'S music!"
Unrehearsed, honestly. And, she brought the house down.
