Because of the little man's newfound appreciation of punctuation, I pulled out the Schoolhouse Rock DVD I received from a friend a while back. He was too young to appreciate it when he got it. But then I remembered the "Interjections" ditty from my childhood and how it was chockfull of exclamation points.
It didn't disappoint. The boy loves it. In fact, now we have this new little duet where we sing.
US: So when you're happy...
HIM: HOORAY!
US: Or sad...
HIM: Awww.
US: Or frightened...
HIM: EEK!
US: Or mad...
HIM: RATS!
US: Or excited...
HIM: WOW!
US: Or glad...
HIM: HEY!
...An interjection starts the sentence right!!!!
It's great fun. The best part is hearing him join in when they sing "Alleluia, Alleluia!" as the TV screen fills with exclamation points.
