Do not automatically answer "yes." I know some amazing 4 year olds.
I would continue to take Lia to school for sheer entertainment value. Oh, yeah, I meant educational value.
Day 1: I learned from a breakfast place mat that Australia has Lia's name in it. Confident, I stated that must be the only country like that in the world. Silly me, I forgot about Somalia.
Day 2: We spotted a truck painted like a zebra on the way to school. I asked, "Why does the truck want to be a zebra?" The question stumped Lia until we were close enough to read the back window. "Animal Problems, " she explained. "It catches snakes!"
Day 3: I learned all the words to the "Sponge Bob Square Pants" theme song:
Who lives in a Pineapple Under the Sea? SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!
Absorbent and Yellow and Porous is he. SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!
If nautical nonsense is something you wish SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!
Then drop to the deck and flop like a fish! SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!
Day 4: Lia told me she was saving her money to buy a car when she is 16. I asked her what kind of car. She wasn't sure but possibly a panda car, pink and purple. We worked together to come up with: In the Pompano, Portugal Palace the Princess ate peas and peanuts on pumpernickel pizza while parading in her pink and purple Pokemon panda Porsche.
Day 5: We are in the car during Mary Welchel's radio program and she is explaining the acrostic T.H.I.N.K. before you speak. Each day she has added a letter: True, helpful, inspirational, yesterday was "necessary" and today was "kind" Today's broadcast was interrupted by Lia saying, "Hey, we heard this yesterday!" I explained that Mary was going to tell us what the letter "k" stood for. However, when we got to "n", Lia told me she knew a joke about the word necessary.
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Isabella
Isabella who?
Isabella necessary on a fire truck?
Last night I joined the family at the ball bark to watch Lia and Lucas play.
Lucas at bat.

Oh Debbie -
Thanks for the post. I could actually hear Lia saying some of that! She's quite a character, isn't she? And the pictures were great! I miss them so much and this really helped. By the way, I have no idea how she knows the words to SpongeBob SquarePants. We don't even get that show at our house, hmmmm.
Thanks so much for helping Bonnie out while we're gone.
You're the best!
Brenda
