Counting piggies

December 16, 2006

This morning, while I was changing her diaper, Ellie was counting her “piggies” (toes). Daddy does that with her quite often, and he uses the standard rhyme. Since I was busy with her diaper, I wasn’t counting along with her, so she made up her own version.

“This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy ate broccoli beef
This little piggy had none
This little piggy cried ‘weeeee’ all the way home”
