Entertaining Kira


Kira loves to sing and dance, draw, and read stories. Her 'dancing' is mostly jumping up and down, but sometimes she'll throw in some other moves - turn around, wave her hands in the air, clap, etc. She likes to dance to anything - nursery rhymes, kid's groups (like "Hi 5" and "The Wiggles"), right through to "Happy Hardcore" and "Trance" styles of music! She'll sing along, too - if she can't work out the lyrics, she makes them up! One of Kira's favourite songs at the moment is "The Wheels On The Bus". But after singing about the wheels, the wipers, doors, people, the bell, etc, Kira STILL wanted more verses, so the "Barber" version was born! Now that's all she wants to sing!

Ah-hem....

"Kira on the bus goes (hands over mouth) 'giggle, giggle, giggle',
'Giggle, giggle, giggle',
'Giggle, giggle, giggle'.
Kira on the bus goes 'giggle, giggle, giggle',
All the way to town."

"Erika on the bus goes (rubbing eyes) 'wah, wah, wah',
'Wah, wah, wah',
'Wah, wah, wah'.
Erika on the bus goes 'wah, wah, wah',
All the way to town."

"Mummy on the bus says (pointing her finger) 'Kids sit down!',
'Kids sit down!',
'Kids sit down!'.
Mummy on the bus says 'Kids sit down!',
All the way to town."

"Daddy on the bus says (on the phone) 'Fix my car!'
'I hate the bus!'
'Fix my car!'
Daddy on the bus says 'Fix my car!',
All the way to town."

But since we rarely take the bus anywhere (I think Kira's been on one once!) we often change it from "bus" to "car", and instead of going to "town" we go to "the shops"!

Kira's favourite story at the moment is "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". She 'reads' along (well, she's memorised the story, so knows what each page is about!), and even tries to climb the stairs by putting her foot on the book! She says she is Snow White, and Daddy is the Prince. But poor Mummy is the Old Lady! Not the Queen, but the evil Queen disguised as an old hag!! Thanks, Kira!

(Kira left Teddy Bear to finish reading her story whilst she went to brush her teeth before going to bed!)
