Kiddo cuteness

The girls have been so cute lately - Anisa has grasped the concept of singing and has been learning the words, so I keep finding her singing as she goes around the house. I had to go into her room last night after bedtime and tell her to sing in a whisper because she was going to wake up her sister! And Jasmine is trying to be just like big sister now - she's only picked up words to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so far, but any time I sing it or it's playing in the room, she'll jump right in with her sister and try to sing away. It's so awesome to hear them both crooning away in their cute little girl voices!

I keep being amazed by just how much information Anisa absorbs from everything around her. This week, she's been fascinated with bones and wants a skeleton for Christmas to learn more about dem bones. There's some show on On-Demand that takes "Dry Bones" and has dancing skeletons illustrating each bone they're talking about in the song and then it goes back and gives an explanation of just what the foot bone is made of and what it does to help us stand, walk, etc. Well, Anisa just keeps dropping little knowledge nuggets that she picked up from that on me - "You can't stand without your backbone, daddy!" - and it's just so cool.
