Just so you know, we're all mermaids around here.We cannot pass a body of water without contemplating the mermaids that must be lurking below the surface. And Ariel's "Singing to Ursula" theme song is hollered in our home at least five times a day.
Bathtime, I've learned, is essential to the potty-training toddler, whose wiping skills, even when augmented by a mother's efforts, are not 100%. And around here, that also means it's MERMAID time. Chebbles holds her legs together and squirms around, pretending to have grown a fin.
I conned her into eating a bunch of seaweed soup by telling her it was Mermaid Soup. Jackpot! And swimming lessons are Mermaid Time.
I've also learned to lip-synch "Part of Your World" REALLY WELL. I fantasized today about performing it at Chebbles' third birthday. I'm not sure under what auspices, but talent like this must be shared with the public at large.
Anyway, in the meantime, we're mermaids, mermaids with legs, it seems.

Hey, maybe we need a mermaid cake this time. Oh, can I be your chorus for "Part of Your World"? :-)

Mermaids is the SINGLE reason I want a girl.
I am impressed by the seaweed soup!
Tell Chebbles we are BIG fans of mermaid soup around here. Both girls even like mermaid (seaweed) salad. mmmmmm sushi.........
OMGsh I can see boy Chebbles in that her long hair is under the water, and if you just look at her face and her blond hair, you can see Boy Chebbles. Woah! btw, if I told N that "gim" (aka salted seaweed from Korea) was mermaid food, he might boycott it. What works for one gender...
