Constantinople

Dr. Seuss is a big hit in our house

We love the books

and they seem to be appropriate for all ages

One of Lilly's (& Nolee's) favorites is

"Hop on Pop"

which has her new favorite word at the end

"My father / can read / big words, too. / Like... / Constantinople / and / Timbuktu"

Scott has practiced with her

and they broke the word down

and now my 4 year old walks around

saying "Constantinople"

at random times of the day

So as we were driving in the car yesterday

and being the great big sister she is

Lilly determinedly tries to teach the word to Nolee...

which is how the following conversation took place

Lilly:  Nolee can you say Con

Nolee:  Ton

Lilly:  Good!  Now can you say Stan

Nolee:  Tan

Lilly:  Great!  Now say Tin

Nolee:  Tin

Lilly:  Good job Nolee!  Now say Ople

Nolee:  Ople

Lilly:  Great job!  Now say it all together

Nolee:....ALL

This is where Scott and I start cracking up in the front :).

I love listening to them...it never gets old
