Sarah has begun singing a new song called, "I Wonder (who) I am". It is kind of sung to the tune "I wonder as I wander out under the stars..." Only Sarah's version goes like this: "I wonder I am, I wonder I am. I am Sarah Girl (what Alan calls her), Angel (what Grandpa Paulsen calls her), Chat..terbug (what I call her), Sweetheart (what we all call her), I wonder I am...
She's a little young for an identity crisis wouldn't you say?

Are all 3 year olds this bossy?
Just now Sarah came into the office where Alan and I were. "Come on," she said to Alan, "You forgot to throw me up. Come on. Let's go to the kitchen and you throw me up 'cause you forgot." After a chuckle Alan went with her and dutifully fulfilled the "coming home routine" which involves chucking Sarah into the air several times followed by running around in circles. Sarah loves this but I wonder how long it will continue. Will she be 13 and still asking to be thrown up?
As Alan comes back down the stairs Sarah says, "Let's play hide-and-seek. Let's play "get you". Sit here. (She points to a spot on the floor then runs to the other side of the room turns around and charges Alan. Alan catches her up and tickles her, then chases her around the room. This is how to play "get you".) We are going to have to teach her not to boss us around, which by the way I've been trying to do, and to at least say please, which by the way we have also been teaching and which she sometimes remembers.

Sarah's thumb is amazing
This morning Sarah's thumb became caught in her pajamas. I asked, "Sarah, where is your thumb?"
She responded, "Right here. My fumb go 'woof woof' like Potter."
Now that's one amazing thumb!

Dinner Song
Sarah is at a stage when the world has become a musical, and she has numerous solo parts. Tonight she sang over her soup:
Then she asked Shannon, "Mommy, what's that song?" Mommy: "I don't know." Sarah declared, "That song called 'Someone Be So Naughty.'"
You be so naughty

'Cause you be so naughteeeeeeeeeee.
Then she asked Shannon, "Mommy, what's that song?" Mommy: "I don't know." Sarah declared, "That song called 'Someone Be So Naughty.'"
