We have been reading the classic children's book "Make Way for Ducklings." Rachel can't get enough of it. It's quite long, longer than most kids' books, but she's rapt with every word.
Tonight at dinner she started singing "Five Little Ducks Went Out One Day," and she asked if the Mommy duck was sad.
"Yes," I answered, "because all her little ducks went away. Just like I'd be sad if you went away."
"I'm not going away!" Rachel exclaimed. "'Cuz I wanna stay here with my mommy 'cuz I miss her!"
Later she sounded as if she was trying to make up her own version:
"Five little ducks came home one day..." she began, and then she added: "and ate dinner with the other little ducklings and then go to bed and then read Mommy books then turn on the CD and then get into their jammies and then go to sleep and then Mommy cleans up their dinner."
Yep, that's a pretty fair summation of what goes on around here at night. Minus the ducklings, of course.
