Cara's Storytime...

A few weeks ago, instead of reading from a book at bedtime, I told my kids about an "Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly..." :
"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly! I guess she'll die...
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider! That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her! *tickling kids*
-She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly! I guess she'll die..." Ect..ect...
Well, they ate it up! Since then they ask me to tell it over and over and now Cara has decided that she will tell US the stories at bedtime.
They're very entertaining (especially her facial expressions) and often vary between the Old Lady story, a prayer, and pure imagination... here's a couple of vids of Cara at bedtime...



Here's another more original one...


Yes- she's an imaginative gal. Somehow that story seems to echo the events that took place earlier that day... ;)
And the "I told her 3 times!" - Yeah...ahem... wonder where she heard that from???
