Camels and donkeys

Recently I went to my daughter’s first school play. Everyone was given a part, though she wasn’t a headliner, but the teachers made sure everyone felt their bit was important and had them all learn all the songs from the show. She’s still singing them now.

She told me next year she wants to be a camel. They did have the best costumes and I suspect as she likes dressing up in her Scooby-Doo or reindeer outfit that she’s experiencing her first episode of costume envy.

Part of what  I enjoy most about her age is her mispronuciation of words which I’ve written about before. It really tickles me. Since the school play she’s seen fit to correct me twenty dozen times. Camels and donkeys have  hoobs.

I stand corrected.

    The camel is a noble animal. Hopefully as she grows older though she will eventually embrace other animals as the costumes no doubt will be more glamorous.

    It’s never too early to get her something feline-ish…just saying.

    (yay! you’re back – I knew you would be!)
