Larkin's new favorite saying is, "I have a good idea." She says it at least 500 times a day. Most of the time she really does have a pretty good idea, like sharing a toy, or picking a book to read, but every now and then her concept of a good idea and mine don't exactly mesh.

Larkin loves to sing Christmas songs. I am amazed at all the songs she knows this year. Granted, we have Christmas songs playing every day at our house in December, but still ... she knows the words to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells (this one she learned last year), Deck the Halls, Santa Clause is Coming to Town, Silver Bells, Away in a Manger, Up on the Housetop, White Christmas, The Hippopotamus song, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I had to laugh yesterday when The First Noel came on the radio in the car and she belts out the chorus from the back seat, "Nowhere! NOWHERE! Nowhere! NOWHERE!"

I still smile when I think about her singing "Nowhere" instead of "Noel" :)
