Dorie and Dawn!
Quinn and I were driving home one day last week, singing songs in the car, mostly with a Christmas theme. "Jingle Bells" and "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" are two of Quinn's favorites, primarily because they are featured on the episode of Caillou where he goes caroling with his family. She usually refers to the latter as "Merry Merry Merry Christmas."
We were waiting at a stop light when Quinn insisted that we sing "Dorie and Dawn"! She repeated this request loudly, and when I failed to respond quickly enough, screeched at me. Apparently, this was an effective method of communication, because all of a sudden I realized she was asking for "We Three Kings of Orient Are." Which I then sang, making Quinn happy again.
A day or two later, she was playing with the three Kings from her nativity set, and she informed me that "this one is Orie" and "this one is Dawn." Since our friend Dawn is married to Wesley, it turned out that he was the third King.

Makes perfect sense to me!
Our youngest heard a song with the refrain "worthy is the Lamb" and thought it was "woolly is the Lamb."
We also caught her using the Baby Jesus from the nativity set as a stylus for her Nintendo DS.

Lolo's recent one was from "The Blood Shall Never Lose Its Power". "Way back on calvary..." became "way back in California."
Long live baby translations.

So wonderful! I love singing with Abby!
(and what the heck is up with the addictive nature of Caillou?! Abby saw it one time and all of the sudden we were watching daily for a month!
