It's Been 2 Weeks, We Owe You Some Ayjia News

Well, it's been awhile. We've been busy spending money, remodeling our house, and planning vacations....hey, it's summer what are you going to do? So, here's some cool things Ayjia's been up to lately....

- Ayjia now sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...or at least a portion thereof. Ayjia's version goes something like this: "Up Up Up Up Up Up HIGH! Up Up Up Up Up Up SKY!" Hey, she's only 18 months (3 days away). At least she's singing the right number of syllables. And, this is especially cool, becaause when she sings her version of the song, she puts her hands up in the air, looks up at the sky and opens and closes her hands like a twinkling star. Trust us, if this sounds cute, it's 10 times cuter in real life (times infiniti).

- And that's not the only thing you've been singing lately. You haven't responded much to music on the radio up until now, but recently you've been singing along to the chorus to Ciara's "Oh!" Maybe cuz it's easy, but hey, it's also a good song. Now, if only we can get you to learn Ludacris' rap in the 3rd verse!

- MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE! Yup, you've learned the word "mine!" The cup is yours, the toys are yours, the food is yours, everything is yours. The world will never be the same. Now that we think of it, you're kind of like our President. Just pick something random, clench it with your hands, and scream "mine" until the rest of the world just gives it to you so you'll shut up!

- You don't like sleeping with covers or clothes. Kinda like your parents, only they like covers.

- You have your first bedtime book! It's a Blues Clues book and your mom and I just started reading it to you every night! It's pretty cool and short. But, we're just gearing you up for the big stuff...like Lord of the Rings. Now THAT will put you to sleep.

- Your dad is a musician, so we've always wondered if he passed on the musical gene on that fateful drunken night you were conceived. It appears he has. We all went to the music store last week to buy your dad some drums (finally! Hopefully he'll stop doing his beats everywhere else now!), and dad wasn't the only one interested in all of the drums. You were playing on full size drum kits...and you weren't half bad for an 18 month old. Your dad ended up buying an electronic drumset (we dold you we were spending money!) and you love playing that as much as your dad too! Maybe you two can start a band!
