Gretal Hair

Georgia is infatuated with Gretal's hair on the Sound of Music. Everyday she asks me if she can have "Gretal hair". Yesterday, as many days before, we brushed and twisted to get the look. She selected to wear this dress which never struck me as Sound-of-Music-ish until we did her hair. Now I see what Georgia was going for. This dress has a very Eastern European flair to it. It DOES remind me of the Sound of Music and also the Yukon Czech Festival. Hats off to you, Georgia, stylist in the making.

The other day Georgia ran straight to me and said "Mommy, I am going to make this line a circle." Then she ran straight back to where she started and then ran in a circle around me. She finally made a bee-line back to me and repeated "Mommy, I am going to make this line a circle" and did it again! Isn't that brilliant? I believe that spatial/geometric thinking must come from Rodofo's side because I know she did not get that from me.

Another funny thing happened the other night when we were trying to get her to bed. She did not want to go to sleep but was at least in bed, although quite angry about being there. In order to communicate how unhappy she was about having to go to sleep she started repeating "Georgia does not go to bed. See it says so in my story. Georgia does not go to bed." Have you ever seen Super Why? In this children's tv show they change words in stories to solve the problem. Georgia was trying to change the words in her story so that she did not have to go to bed. What a clever kid!
