Katherine snapshot

So last night as I was giving Katherine her bath, I started singing the silly "Willoughby wallaby W____, an elephant sat on ____" song. (A Google search for those unfamiliar with this song)

Anyway, Katherine really got into it. I would start a line ("Willoughby wallaby Wommy, an elephant sat on ....") and she'd finish it ("Mommy!"). I got tired of this game long before she did; she kept asking me to do more, and occasionally pointing to things for me to have the elephant sit on. Occasionally she'd ask me to do something that began with "w", and I'd have to explain that that wouldn't work. ("Do the washcloth!")

After the bath, Katherine continued the song in her room by herself. Here's what I remember:

Willoughby wallaby winosaur, an elephant sat on Pinosaur.
(This is what she named the green toy she's using as a pillow here a few weeks ago)

Willoughby wallaby wocks, an elephant sat on my crocs;
Willoughby wallaby wora shoes, an elephant sat on my Dora shoes.

Willoughby wallaby wink, an elephant sat on my drink;
Willoughby wallaby wouse, an elephant sat on my house.

Willoughby wallaby wanties, an elephant sat on my panties;
Willoughby wallaby wattress, an elephant sat on my mattress.

And there was much more I don't remember. We continued this morning in the car on the way to day care, where the elephant sat on "wight"/"the light", "ween"/"the green", "wed"/"the red" (we go through several traffic lights in short succession); on several of the kids at her day care; on Dora, Boots, Backpack and Swiper (Swiper got sat on more than once); on "wee"/"the C", and "wetters"/"the letters".

Also, after she had asked me to do another word that began with "w", and I explained that it wouldn't work, she showed me that I was wrong:

Willoughby wallaby wonsin, an elephant sat on Wisconsin.
