Rocking out to Hercules.

Bella was in the playroom the other day playing one of her favorite cd games. It's from the kids movie Hercules. She just pops that disc in and off she goes. Josie likes to watch.

I was in the living room working on the computer. I don't know if you know these kid games...they go through bits of the movie and have all kinds of games to play throughout. Plus you get all the songs from the movie playing throughout as well. I soon became aware that she was singing to one of the Hercules songs. She was getting louder and louder...really belting it out. :-) It was so cute. Her little voice was squeaking as she hit those high notes.

It dawned on me to video her. By the time I got in there she had finished her song and was moving onto another game. Darn it. Next time I'm ready. I have the video camera within easy reach to grab and run down the hall and capture her on tape. She will love it when I pull this out to show her first date...or at Young Womenhood Recognition night...or at her wedding...or mission farewell. he he he

Bella's favorite letter

I have started "home" preschool with Bella. This last week was "L" week. We were at the dinner table the other night...just me, Bella, Josie, and Jaz. Bella and I were telling Jasmine what we had done that day for "preschool". (Bella is very cute in preschool...she says "I'll help you mom. I know you've never been a teacher before!)



Anyway...Jaz asked her what her favorite letter was. Belle has been in preschool and she had done up to letter K before Christmas. We were just picking up where they left off. Bella stopped talking and just sat there thinking a minute. It was cute. I thought...wow, she's really thinking about what letter she likes the best. I thought maybe she would say "I" or "B" for Isabella or Bella. After a while she said, "I know my favorite letter...it's M O M". WHAT A SWEET GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! And smart...we haven't even done those letter yet. Just gave her hugs and kisses all over...little sweet sugar baby.

Bella was there when I told Steve about it. She was very proud of herself. She thought for a minute and said, "I have another favorite letter....D A D." She knows how to get a big hug.
