If you're happy and you know it ...

... raise your hands! Hurray! Lia loves this song, and she can do all of the commands: touch her nose, jump up and down, nod her head, and even snap her fingers (or pinch the index finger and thumb). Thanks to Mr. Nigel, who has taught us all of these great moves. Sometimes I add a new line so that things won't get boring. Lorenzo knows all the moves equally well. Today I sang "If you're happy and you know it find a booger!", and the little man was immediately picking his nose. Expressive dance is the Peanuts' new passion. A week ago they invented this cute Geisha dance. They were both singing and swinging their bells in the way that Geishas present their fan. It's hard to put into words, it was an awesome free style toddler dance that made us laugh so hard that we were crying tears. Too bad we didn't have a camera to take a pic of Maiko's and Geico's fan dance. The two of them play so well together. Just look at this cute picture. Lorenzo with a stroller and Lia with a lawn mower. Don't you just love gender roles? At least when they 'walk this way':

Please click on the picture to enjoy a closer view of Pablo, Lorenzo's anatomically correct doll!!!

Here is a video of some serious water splashing fun. Please notice how Lia is working her way out while systematically scattering water on dry places, creating a big watery cirlce around their little water table.

And before I forget: Lia's new word is "Hallo?", and that includes a question mark!!
