Vignette from the last few days

Yesterday we went to Amélie's first Basketball game... At Indiana University (IU), Basketball is a religion, so the whole town was there. Let's just say that for Amélie 'basketball' is for now the stuff that happens while she has to wait for 'mo' muchik!' We came home singing the IU fight song, and today, one could sing the fight song and Amélie would finish it with the screaming "IU" ending!

Today, our little one was also full of surprises...

The day started with mom trying to dress her for daycare... She insisted that she wanted to listen to some music in the process, so mom obliged, and we were listening to music while I was trying to put her clothes on...

The sweater felt like a big victory, but at the time when the pants were next on the list, I encountered considerable resistance... Amélie looked at me and said 'NO'... No surprise there... But when I tried to convince her that the pants were calling for Amélie to put them on, she totally surprised me by grabbing the pants and starting to make them dance to the music. I of course started laughing, and it took us another 20 minutes for the pants to have had enough dancing and go on Amélie...

Tonight, we had a nice conversation over dinner. Dad was asking Amélie about her day... He was asking whether she played with some of her classmates, and after each name, Amélie was mumbling 'yeah' or 'mhmh'... Using this method, dad learned that today Amélie played with Diego, Ivan, Rena, Obama, Gandhi, and even Newton... We are very impressed by her circle of friends so far!
