For those of you not in the know (ie not forced to listen to the same cd until you hope your eardrums will bleed), today's title comes from The Nelds All Together Singing in the Kitchen album. It's a catchy little tune. So catchy that, in my case, I find myself humming it all hours of the day and night. All hours, people. Anyway, in a case of life imitating art, we went to the zoo, zoo, zoo today. As promised, the monkeys whooped it up as soon as they realized dd was on the premises. Actually, it was a lovely cool fall day, so most of the animals were feeling energetic, esp. the monkeys, who spent alot of time in the tops of the sycamore trees, singing and carrying on. We had more good luck, as the giraffes were right up near the fence eating lunch and the meerkats were hanging out near the tube where you can squeeze yourself in for an up-close look. Even the koi fish swam right up to her today. It was our lucky day.
Of course, we finished our schoolwork before we goofed off at the zoo. I ignored the temptation to start working with letter E today and instead decided to finish the week devoted to letter A, as originally planned. This girl knows the letter A--absolutely. I even had her glue pieces of pasta in the shape of an A. Tomorrow we'll probably fingerpaint, which should end the week with a bang. To reinforce the letter of the week, we read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back, which is one of her favorites. It's not one of mine, but the story grew on me a bit today. Perhaps I really am losing it. Perhaps I have been and am only now realizing it. Is that a sign of sanity or insanity. It's probably best not to pursue this line of thought.
