Lolo had no desire to go to Kindergarten today. I convinced her to go anyway for just a little while and will pick her up soon. She was so excited about school yesterday and helped me learn a new song:
Ich heisse August Fridolin
und bin ein schwarzer Pinguin
wadi wapp wapp wapp
wadi wapp wap wapp]
wadi wapp wapp wapp klapp klapp
My name is August Fridolin--pronounced Owgoost Freetoleen
and I am a black Peguin--Peengooeen
vahdi vahp vahp vahp
vahdi vahp vahp vahp
vahdi vahp vahp vahp klahp klahp
The rest of the song is about his wife Wulliwisch (vooleevish) who swims like a fish, his children who walk backward and how the whole family wants to join the circus, wadi wapp wapp wapp klapp klapp!
Reminds of a good children's series about a pinguin named Tacky written by Helen Lester and illustrated by Lynne Munsinger. He's an odd bird who lives with his friends, Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect. Lynne Munsinger also illustrated One Hungry Monster (underneath my bed, moaning and groaning and begging to be fed...)
Back to peengooeens:
Lolo's class is making some today. Should be finished by now so I'll go and see how she's doing. I think we may use Friday as a Mommy and Me day and go swimming. Lots of fun to go to the indoor pools here while it's so cold outside!
