Clarissa was home today and it was magical to watch Lily and her spending so much time together. They did a reading lesson, played Pretty, Pretty, Princess, played a matching game and I even joined them when Lily was teaching Clarissa to count to 20. Clarissa also got some screen time, and all she has wanted to watch for the past couple days is the part of 102 Dalmatians when Cruella Deville gets turned into cake. Sometimes she will just yell out excitedly, “it’s the cake part!” and then 5 minutes later she well come ask a family member to turn it to the cake part again, LOL. Clarissa has been exceptionally cute lately.
One cute anecdote is that Lily has been teaching the kids Tagalog. Recently she taught them how to say, “how are you?” “I am good”. In Tagalog, that is, “Kamusta Ka” and “Mabuti”. “Mabuti” sounds a lot like “My booty”, which explains the following:
Last week, Lily gave Clarissa a pop quiz, and said to her, “Kamusta Ka?”. Clarissa thought and said, “um…my….butt?” Everyone laughed REALLY HARD.
Lilly and I also had the most fun we’ve ever had playing Picklball together this evening.
