Ipper Dipper Do Da!

Earlier this month Lee, Annie-Joy & I went to watch Jordan's class assembly. It was all about goals & fulfilling your dreams. It was fun to watch & see all the hard work the class had put into dramatising & acting out their story of Leo the Lion, the late developer who just couldn't quite do what everyone else could but tried really hard until one day he succeeded! I loved the hand jive dance they did to S Club 7's song Reach For The Stars. Jordan has written his own version & can often be heard singing it around the house at the top of his voice! Annie-Joy adores her room mate & big brother! Can you tell? She is wearing the necklace she made at the school's Family Fun Day at the beginning of March. She also made a matching bracelet. It has tiny silver Hello Kitty beads on it amongst other things.
Annie-Joy made the whole class say 'Aaaaaah!' as she ran to hug Jordan at the end of the assembly when the rest of the school children had left the hall. She had fun playing for a little while with Jordan & the great crowd of girls that always seem to follow him everywhere!

Annie-Joy fell down the stairs for the first time two weeks ago. She grazed her nose badly & gave me & my friend who was visiting at the time, quite a shock! She was VERY brave though! AJ took great delight in looking at her nose in every available mirror when ever she saw one! She would look at herself & say 'My nose!' Thanks to the wonders of nature & some prayer (perhaps they are the same thing?) it is healing up nicely now.

Anyway, I expect you are wondering about the title for this post? I can't remember how we got to talking about it but at the tea table one night the boys started doing a choosing rhyme they learnt on the school yard. It goes like this;

Ipper dipper do da

It's not you La!

It made us laugh so much especially the thick Scouse accents that accompany it's recital! this morning Timmy told us another one which goes as follows;

Ip dip dip

My blue ship

You are

Not it!

Ah! School days can be fun eh? Which reminds me I had a go at Double Dutch skipping the other day. I was rubbish (but then I was trying to jump with AJ as well)! Jordan on the other hand was fantastic at it! Anyway, must go- sorry it's been so long! Hope to see you soon! :o)
