aa thaa thow

TJOML seems to love Ringa-Ring-o-Roses:

Ring Around The Rosies
Pocketful of Posies
Ashes, Ashes
We All Fall Down.

I learnt it as:

Ring Around The Rosies
Pocketful of Posies
A-tishoo, A-tishoo
We All Fall Down.

Anyway, most evenings, TJOML invites her dad with arms outstretched and a cute, "Appa, wayo-wayo, aa thaa thow" and when dad and daughter hold hands and do a few rounds of falling down, TJOML turns to me and invites, "Amma, wayo-wayo...".

Absolutely precious.

Then all 3 of us hold hands and do a few rounds of falling down, with TJOML singing along in her own sweet way.

The "aa thaa thow" ("all fall down") part seems to have made an impression on her lately.

She picks up her spoon/fork while having dinner, flings it as far as she can with a gleeful "aa thaa thow"!

She sits on the bed with her little menagerie of stuffed toys - a cow, a mouse, a pink bear, a yellow bear, plus her doll Enid, of course. Picks up the cow, throws it off the bed declaring, "aa thaa thow". And then looks at us with the most irresistable smile and twinkle and asks us to pick it up and give it to her, only to repeat the process over!

It would be so cute if I weren't the one picking up after her experiments with Gravity :-)
