Egypt

Hieroglyphics. Roo’s spoken this at least 50 times this evening. A grand word for a four year old, I think. This month’s theme at preschool was Egypt and the children showcased their knowledge to the parents today. Costumed in Egyptian warrior garb, they sang songs and spoke about Egypt. Roo’s token line said in tandem with one other child was “four dessert foxes” as he proudly held high a poster on a stick containing golden foxes. This morning before school Roo asked Ryan if he could look up on the computer the temperature in Egypt today. He likes to explain that the Nile is the LONGEST river in the world and that pyramids are really BIG. Maxima seems to be the most effective way to impress a four year old. He’s intrigued by anything that’s the “most“. I’m not sure I knew the Nile was the longest river in the world until college. In fact, when he first brought the subject up I had to think “is the Nile the longest or the Amazon, hmmm?”. Hey, at least I do know it’s not the Mississippi. Anyway, it was a cute show today.
