Do Re Mi

This morning the big kids of the school, Big Bugs and Super Bugs, performed on stage in their classroom. Below is a clip of them singing the song from the movie “The Sound of Music”, “doe a deer, a female deer etc..”. In addition they sang three songs in Japanese and a few in French to keep inline with their monthly theme of France and good food. Roo was so fun to watch because he was doing the actions and singing loud enough for me to hear his voice. He’s been practicing much and as I’ve mentioned before, he like to sing. They made their French chef hats and aprons and Roo wears his like he does a ball cap, with it low over his eyes. We call this his farmer look.
His skill in progressing on the scooter. Yesterday when he was riding on the sidewalk I was explaining that when he sees an elderly person, especially with a cane, I want him to stop on his scooter until they are past. I talked with him about how it would really hurt an elderly person if they were knocked down or ran into by him on his scooter. We were scootering past a bus stop where there are always a lot of elderly waiting. I said to Roo “this is a spot where you need to be extra careful and look out for elderly people” and shortly after right as were right next to an elderly Japanese gentleman, Roo looks up at him and shouts “he’s elderly!”. And then as he’s scootering away says “it’s a good thing we didn’t hit him.”. Ahhh, things sure get interesting when preschoolers can talk.
