Sing to Fish

Tonight as we put the Petite Princess to bed, I started singing a song to her, as I do every night. She said "Shh, don't scare to fish. Sing to them." So I sang the song quietly, sitting next to her but facing the fish.

Fish Clock

Tonight as we were getting the Overlord ready for bed, her night light burnt out. As a quick fix, I turned on the light on her fish tank, which we don't usually do. The fish usually just get light from the windows during the day. When I turned on the bright overhead light in their tank, they panicked and rushed around, running into the sides of the tank. I explained that we had scared her fish and that I was sorry to have scared them. She walked over to the fish tank and said "Sorry fishies, didn't mean to scare you." I explained that they didn't understand us, but that we were very proud of her for being nice to the fishies. Later she was playing with her new favorite toy, her clock. She picked it up and brought it over to her fish tank and showed them her clock. She came back over to us with a dejected look, saying "They didn't understand me." We told her that fishies just didn't understand, and that it was nice of her to want to share her new clock. She ran back over and showed them again. This time they swam closer. She ran back to us, saying excitedly "They understood me! They understood me!" She brought the clock back over to them to show us.

This morning I was showing the Tiny One how to do somersaults on a well padded air mattress. She was laughing and excited. I explained that they were called somersaults. After she had played for about 5 minutes, she turned to me and said "Okay, now you do Mommy saults!"
