Scout knows most of his nursery rhymes by heart thanks to Nonnie who has recited them to him since he was born. Somehow Icka fell through the cracks, and doesn’t know any. So in an attempt to get her up to speed, I have been working with her after we drop Scout off at preschool. It goes a little something like this:
-
Mommy: “Twinkle twinkle little ______” (I pause while she fills in the blank)
-
Icka: “Not star.”
-
Mommy: “How I wonder what you ________”
-
Icka: “Not are.”
-
Mommy: “Up above the sky so ______”
-
Icka: “Not high.”
-
You get the picture.
Oh yeah — that’s how she slipped through the cracks.
