Once upon a Beebster

Faith has been singing the "Once Upon a Dream" song from "Sleeping Beauty" now for about a week or so. It's adorable. She hums it perfectly, and "sang" it yesterday over the phone to Tia Rosa for her 25th birthday.

She also is obsessed with the "Lilo and Stitch" soundtrack that she checked out of the library, and wants to hear the Hawaiian songs over and over again. Of course, she knows and recognizes almost every other Disney song imaginable and LOVES "Heigh Ho." She wants Maddie and I to set up all of the dwarfs on the couch in a line and pretend that they are coming home from work while singing that.

Another funny thing lately with the Beebster is that she has now put HERSELF in a time-out on three different occasions. It's so weird! On the day that it iced horribly here, I took them out to snow tube (bad, bad, bad idea considering it is ICE and not SNOW and Maddie fell off of the snow tube and of course it hurts to hit ice at that speed! Faith noticed right away while waiting her turn that this wouldn't be a good idea, and high tailed it down from the hill to me as fast as her little legs could carry her!) and she wasn't being too cooperative in putting on her gloves. I only gave her a warning of a time-out and asked her "do you want a time-out because that's where you're going next.." and she responded with a happy "ESS!" and went up the stairs to stand in her corner of her room. Maddie and I were baffled, and I couldn't stop laughing. It didn't stop there though because then yesterday and today, she completely out of the blue would stop what she was doing (and she was playing and not doing anything remotely deserving of a time-out!) and say "Momma, dis.." and point to her room. She would lead me by the hand to her room and stand there in her corner and wave goodbye to me! She had her head down as if she had done something bad, but then would start smiling and winking. Crazy! She's hilarious. She even put her dolls in a time-out today.

Clearly, I will be having to come up with a different form of discipline;)
