For the girls, this weekend was all about words. Julia happily sang a song from a Winnie the Pooh video in which Tigger bizarrely declaims, "The wonderful thing about Tiggers/Is Tiggers are wonderful things/Their tops are made of rubbah/Their bottoms are made of springs!" - and hit the "rubbah!" part hard, laughing every time. Later, she asked me to find out "where somersault comes from," and seemed satisfied with my summary of its etymology.
And then Vivi! She not only rocked the Vivi/Booah/Mama/Dada quartet, but joyously said "ball" (actually, more like "baaaaa") on Saturday and then "bear" (actually, more like "baaaay") on Sunday. More words, Vivi, more words!
