just one more

Another fun conversation – Sunday on the way to church – again with Austin and Nayeli.

Grandpa singing to the two one of his made up songs (to the tune of skip to my lou}

“Nayeli is a silly girl skip to my loo, Austin is a silly boy, skip to my loo, both of you are cuckoo kids, skip to my lou, skip to the lou my darling”

Nayeli taking up song: “ grandma is nutsy cuckoo skip to lou, Austin is a cuckoo, skip to lou (Austin joins in singing skip lou, skip lou) and so on.

Grandma: can you both sing I am a child of God? (assuming on the way to church and good choice)

Austin: Yes

Nayeli: No, twinkle twinkle little star -and she begins to sing.

Austin joins in – “how I wonder what you are”

Nayeli (changing words) “babies poop their pants all the time”

Austin: that’s not how it goes!

Grandma: Anybody see a red truck anywhere?

Austin and Nayeli: I see one!

Austin: FSST (noise as he shoots his web)

Nayeli: I’m spiderman too. FSST

Austin: That’s not how you do it. LOOK. (he shows her his hand – two fingers out and upside down.

Nayeli: FSST.

Austin: That is not the way.

Grandma: Nayeli is no grown up yet Austin, maybe little girl spidermen don’t hold their hands the same way – couldn’t she do it that way.

Austin: okay, she is littler – not a big spiderman . FSST

Nayeli: (very smiling) I can shoot webs – SPIDERMAN! FSST. Grandma I shot the web into your hair.

Grandma: (turning head a little) Good job Nayeli

Nayeli: DON’T turn your head, now the web is in your face!

Austin: Yellie, you can’t shoot people in the face.

Then there was bathtime. Nayeli and Austin both had fishing nets and 'caught' toys, which on the whole were squeeze toys that could shoot water. Nayeli laughed uproariously while squirting Austin in the face. He kept turning his head and I told Nayeli that she could not shoot him in the face, but to target the shampoo bottle or something else - like the wall. Her response, a loud laugh and a longer squirt of water into Austin's face. He laughed. Then after bath, both kids running out of the bathroom – giggling like crazy because they wanted to show me they were wearing hats – which consisted of totally soaking wet wash clothes shoved on their heads with water just streaming off their bodies. they obviously were not tired from the day.
