This morning, Little Sister and I were watching an episode of The Wonder Pets we had saved on our DVR. We were doing this because Big Sister was eating the last piece of Nana's yummy coffee cake. Whenever Little Sis sees anything yummy, she becomes determined to eat it. She'll say, first sweetly, "Cake! Nummy nummy!" but if there is any sort of delay her voice gets gruff. "CAKE!" she will half-bellow, half-growl. Offering anything else as an alternative is futile- it will be thrown from the high chair until she gets her "nummy nummy."
SO, since there was only one piece of CAKE! left, and since Little Sister has already eaten her weight in it this weekend, we let Big Sis have it. In secret. While Little Sister and I watched tv in the other room.
After Wonder Pets was over, Moose A. Moose led us through a matching game, and there was a short clip about Max & Ruby celebrating Thanksgiving. (This was when I realized that Daddy had selected an episode from the DVR, since surely Noggin would not be this behind in their programming).
After that came a "Say it two ways" segment with Kai Lan. We looked at a yellow hat and she told us that in English we say "hat" and that in Chinese it is called a "Mao Zi."
And then, clear as a bell, Little Sister said, "Bless you."
