Peas Porridge
As we mentioned a few times, Hannah loves music. A few months ago, a physical therapist sang the rhyme "Peas Porridge Hot" to Hannah.
Peas Porridge Hot
Peas Porridge Cold
Peas Porridge In The Pot Nine Days Old
Some Like It Hot
Some Like It Cold
Some Like It In The Pot Nine Days Old
I always end with an expression of "Ewww gross!" That use to start Hannah giggling; now, she still smiles.
Since that day, this song has usurped "Patty-Cake" as Hannah’s favorite clapping game. If I sing "Patty-Cake," she shakes her head "no." It is all about Peas Porridge now.
Well, in the past week, she has made a breakthrough. I have been trying to teach her to clap, then hit my hand with the words. She is starting to do it and laughs if I mess up the order. On the word "hot," we slap our right hands together. On the word "cold," we slap our left hands together. On "nine days old," we clap both hands together.
This is amazing to me. Gabriel never had patience for this kind of thing. She also mouths the words "hot, cold and old" as she plays with me. She then signs more song and grabs my hands and starts them clapping.
She amazes me everyday!
