So there have been enough little stories Carrie has volunteered about the past few days that I think she’s probably actually enjoying school, and just might be a little overwhelmed by trying to describe it.\u00a0 Her favorite parts are still recess and riding the bus, but really, who doesn’t like those things?\u00a0 I love the song they learned in music the other day, Elephants Have Wrinkles.\u00a0 She couldn’t quite remember all the words, so I googled it:<\/p>\n

Elephants Have Wrinkles<\/em><\/strong> by April Kassirer<\/em><\/p>\n

Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles,wrinkles
\nElephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
\nOn their toes (on their toes)
\nNo one knows (no one knows) why -y-y-y-<\/p>\n

Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles
\nElephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
\nOn their knees (on their knees)
\nOn their toes (on their toes)
\nNo one knows (no one knows) why -y-y-y-<\/p>\n

Elephants have wrinkles, wrinkles,wrinkles
\nElephants have wrinkles, wrinkles everywhere
\nOn their hips (on their hips) ….. knees, toes<\/p>\n

(more verses:)
\nOn their ears (on their ears) ….. hips, knees, toes
\nOn their trunks (on their trunks) ….. ears, hips, knees, toes
\nOn their teeth ….. Spoken: On their teeth? That’s ridiculous!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s really, really cute.\u00a0 It’s a movement song, so the kids touch each part they’re singing about while they’re singing.\u00a0 Very cute!<\/p>\n

The kids are both healthy at this point, although I’m sitting her trying to figure out if I’m<\/em> coming down with this illness now…\u00a0 Probably not, right?\u00a0 Just a scratchy throat, might just be allergies.\u00a0 (Yeah, I know, probably wishful thinking, but hey, whatever it takes.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
