What My Kids Are Reading

Set decoration by my very proud daughter

Me after finishing singing Pete the Cat’s version of The Wheels on the Bus that seemed to go on forever: SO – what did you think?

4 yo daughter: *looks at me with the side eye only a 4 yo can pull off* why are you asking me?

2 yo son: Pete! Wheels on bus! *arms flail in his attempt to do the wheels on the bus motion*

Me after getting hit in the eye: I wanted to know if you liked it or not.

Dubious daughter: Yes.

Silly son: wipas – swoosh (I think he meant wipers go swish swish swish)

Me: Yes, what?

Polite daughter: Yes, please.

Me laughing: No! I meant what did you like about it?

In-the-swing-of-things daughter: Oh! I really really liked the part where Pete gets up on top of the bus and starts rocking out! I wish I could do that!

Me: ……

Reviewing daughter: I think he likes it too since he danced for most of it. But some of the things aren’t in the real song. Like Pete rocking out. I think we should add that to the song.

Me: Ok let’s get into bed everyone!

Still going daughter: Everyone should be able to rock out! Where’s my guitar…

TIME TO PUBLISH THIS POST!

My daughter came running into the room, right as I was set to publish, crying because we forgot to include orange cat. Rather than having her do set design for another hour, orange cat gets a special picture, all of her own. This is her rocking out.
