Conversations with Ashton.
Ashton: Mom, lets go to Cade's house.
Me: We are going to eat lunch, take a nap, then we can go to Cade's house later.
Ashton: Moooom! Don't say 'later', thats not a good word!
We have a routine that we do every night for bedtime. Read scriptures, say prayers, sing songs, brush teeth and face, then I make up stories for Ashton. Her favorite are the Jasmine and Aladdin 'series'. They usually parallel something we did that day or are going to do tomorrow. And have a little moral about something I want her to learn, ie listening, picking up toys, sitting still, etc. Sometimes she makes up her own story about what J&A are doing. It is so cute. Next we recite Jack and Jill and Humpty Dumpty. I love how she says them so I am going to write them down so I don't forget.
Jack and Jill
recited by: Ashton, age 4
Jack and Jiwl
Wen up a heal
to fetch a bucket, a bucket of water.
Jack fewl down and bwoke his cwrown and
Jiwl coming tumbleiwing after.
Humpty Dumpty
recited by Ashton:
Humpy Dumpty sat on a rock
Humpy dumpy fell off the wall
awl the kings horses and awl the kings men
put humpy dumpy together again.
Notice she substituted the word 'put' for "couldn't"
She's on optimist. ;)
