Dinnertime Recitations

A snippet of our dinnertime conversation:

Todd: "Jack and..."
Eleanor: "Jill went up hill to fetch pail of water..."
Todd: "Jack..."
Eleanor: "fell down and broke CROWN!!"
Todd: "And Jill came..."
Eleanor: "tumbling after!"
Todd: "Little...
Eleanor: "Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating curds whey, came big spider and sat down beside her..."
Me: "And frightened Miss Muffet away!"
(And Will yelling for more food!)

And all this from a girl who 3 weeks ago wouldn't say the word "hello"!

: ) Sounds like a lot of fun. My son was crying through dinner, until we put him in swing.
