Turn that frown upside down

  To eliminate some of Ethan's tantrums I started singing the Primary song If You Chance To Meet A Frown. I've been doing this now for a couple of weeks & have had a pretty good turn around. I can usually get him to smile about whatever he was crying about (usually something stupid). The other day I had a frown on my face, I was having a really bad day and Ethan started singing the song. Of course I couldn't help but smile & forget my troubles. It was so sweet how he was concerned about me & wanted to make sure I was happy.

   Ethan is constantly asking questions... "what do crabs eat?" "Why?" what does this mean? Questions I should certainly know the answers to, they're easy... but I don't know how to answer them, I know some of the answers but don't know how to phrase it so he can understand. And sometimes I tell him I just don't know... that doesn't satisfy him at all. Mommy should know everything!  I wish I could satisfy his questions. I'm so glad that he is curious & wants to learn, if only I knew everything!

   Lexi is learning songs... we were riding in the car one day and Ethan started singing Do As I'm Doing... Lexi started doing what Ethan was doing. It was so cute! We then started singing Popcorn Popping... she did the actions to that song too and whenever I ask her to sing me a song she'll start "singing" (I can't understand anything but pop pppp) and doing the actions to Popcorn Popping. I love to see them learn... they always surprise me with how much they know.
