EV has really been getting into singing. Her current favorites include, "Yes, Jesus Loves Me," "Happy Birthday to You," "Row Row Row Your Boat," "The Wheels on the Bus," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," and the "ABC Song." The other day Jimmy mentioned that Baa Baa Black Sheep, ABC Song and Twinkle Twinkle all are based off of the same notes/melody. The next thing we know EV is singing Baa Baa Black Sheep and finishing it off with the ABC Song (when she was supposed to be taking a nap). She doesn't start really singing until about 15 seconds into the recording; it's actually really cute how she corrects herself, although she's still a little pitchy. So, without further ado, here is EV's mash up of Baa Baa Black Sheep and ABC song.

Strawberry picking we go!
We went strawberry picking this past Saturday and had a good time. It's funny because when we got home to wash off all the strawberries, we found many that were already bitten into. Apparently, EV was taking a bite out of all the ones she picked--I guess she was doing a taste test to make sure they are okay.
This has been a really fun age, as EV continues to grow exponentially in her speech and is now even making jokes and trying to be funny. After she goofs off or makes a joke she'll say, "hahahaha. EV's funny!" Lately, she's also been asking, "Mommy, what's this?" or "What's inside this?" Her curious mind has to know how everything works. On many occasions I have found myself stumbling on my explanation. She asked me the other day, pointing to the cutting mat, "Mommy, what's this big paper?" I said, "Oh, that's for cutting fabric so that mommy can make you dresses and clothes." Although it wasn't that eloquent, it sounded more like, "Oh, yeah, um, mommy cuts on that. Well, mommy puts it on the floor and puts fabric, I mean clothes on top to cut it. I mean it's a mat for cutting." Halfway through, EV is bored and is onto the next thing. It's even worse when she asks about something I don't want her to know about. "Mommy what's inside this" (pointing to a brownie oatmeal bar from trader joe's). I respond with, "Oh, um, it's nothing. yuck. you don't want to know. actually there's nothing inside." (as I quickly walk away to avoid telling her about the delicious sweet contents of the bag). I need practice responding to these random questions more clearly and succintly.
I can't believe it's already May. Jimmy and I will be celebrating our 7 year anniversary in a couple weeks. We have been so blessed in our marriage--we have definitely had our ups and our downs but it's all made our marriage stronger and better. I hope that as we celebrate 7 years, we can be appreciate all that's happened in the past, be thankful for what we have in the present, and look forwards to new adventures in the future.
