Christmas Carols
Dora's versions:
"Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright.
Round your vermin, mother and child.
Holy infany, tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace."
"O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphal..."
(OK, triumphal could be a word. But it's not.)
Man, I love this kid!

Not very reassuring
Recent conversation between Dora (6 years old) and Jubilee:
Dora: Oh, Mama! I just love you so much!
Jubilee: I love you, too, Baby!
Dora: And I'll always love you!
Jubilee: And I'll always, love you!
Dora: And I'll always obey you!
Jubilee: Always?
Dora: Always and always!
Jubilee: Awesome!
Dora: Except ... sometimes ... I won't ...
(We looked at each other, and burst into laughter. At least she's honest!)

Halloween photos
Starring (from left to right): Our sweet friend KMe as a medieval princess; Padme as a genie; Angel as a china doll; Wendy as a cat; Dora as a ballet princess; and Lil Yoda as a rock star guitarist. We had a fabulous time trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Our 3 adoptees had never done anything like this, and Dora just kept saying, "Mama! This is the best night EVER!"
I only let my kids keep 30 pieces of candy, so we have lots of fun after trick-or-treating, going through what we do & don't like, and trading and, eventually, discarding. I have found that, if I let them keep all of their candy from every holiday, then we have candy constantly in the house. We look at candy as a "sometimes food," so they are excited about the 30 pieces they get to keep! Baloo stayed home & handed out candy to our millions of trick-or-treaters, and we got to hand some out, too, when we got back home. The kids really enjoyed oohing and aahing over all the kids' cute costumes!

No Honking
As witnessed at dinner this evening:
-------------------
LIL YODA (upon discovering that the plate of rolls was at the other end of the table from where she was seated):
Momma, you can't just honk all of the rolls!
JUBILEE: Do you mean "hog" all of the rolls? You know, like a hog, who would eat them all?
-------------------
Upon realizing her mistake, Lil Yoda and the whole Clan burst into laughter.
Kids are so fun.
