Toby loves, loves, loves bananas. He's in the right country to indulge in them too: we've enjoyed eating at least 4 different kinds so far. This morning as we were fixing breakfast and getting ready for the day, Jonathan turned on some children's music, starting as always with the Veggie Tales version of "This Little Light of Mine." (Toby likes to dance around the room doing the motions to that song.)
A few minutes later, I heard Toby crying as though his heart were breaking. I ran to the kitchen to see what was wrong. Between sobs, he was saying, "Na-na, na-na" ("banana, banana"). It registered with Jonathan first that the current song was a jazz tune entitled, "Yes, We Have No Bananas." Poor Toby has heard this song lots of times, but this was the first time he understood what it was saying. Guess he just couldn't bear the thought of having no bananas....
Stephanie, Camden used to call bananas "nee nees!" I hadn't thought about that for a while. Also, thanks for all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteWould you give us a route as to how to get to your house from America? That would be very interesting.
