Three four, buckle my shoe
Tara is tucked in for the night, but we hear her singing. "Three four, buckle my shoe." This is making Austin crack up, he is shouting, "It's ONE TWO buckle my shoe." This only prompts Tara to sing the wrong words louder.
Maybe we should have named her Cathy, as in Chatty Cathy. For a little girl who was so shy and couldn't speak any English just last year in Ukraine, she sure has mastered the art of conversation.
She likes to talk. She likes to talk over others. She likes to talk on the phone. She likes to talk with her friends. You don't always know what she is saying, but most of the time you do. Friends are amazed at how well she speaks. I have read other blogs on adopted Ukrainian children and they say their kids like to talk a lot too. Austin was a very quiet little boy. Tara makes up for those years of silence. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Tara loves to sing, and what a beautiful voice. She likes to sing all the songs she learns each day. Terrific memory. She loves to tease her brother Austin, typical girl. Tara, Grandma likes all your singing. Love you.
