it's a wRAP

ruby has her preschool spring program coming up. each of the students in her class has been given a small speaking part to have memorized in time for the program. miss arlene sent those parts home last week {or maybe the week before, it's all a blur} with each of the children. ruby and i didn't waste a second. immediately we read over her part, and began the process of learning it. for whatever reason, despite the fact that she is very good at memorizing poems and songs and whatnot, she experienced some difficulty in learning this particular speaking part {small as it was}. in hopes that she would learn it quickly, and at the time thinking it was a rather good idea, i began rapping it. i was right, it worked. those words stuck in her head like any good hip-hop song will...problem is, now i can't get her to recite it any other way. i'm sure her teacher just thinks we're absolutely cuhRAYzy. well i guess it's about time that she {and the rest of you out there} learned the truth...

this one's my favorite. notice how much amusement asher gets from my soft, doughy tummy.
