Circle Time Master

I have a little 3-yr-old that is super smart, and likes to "direct" the activities around here!  She steps in when she think I'm not doing an adequate job of caregiver.  It's very amusing.

Yesterday, when I ended circle time disappointingly early (due to exhaustion), she stepped in to finish the job.  I do a version of Ring Around the Rosy that ends with the kids falling into statues.  Then each child is "noticed" for the statue that s/he has chosen.

When I thanked them for singing with me and moved on to do something else, they clamored for Ring Around the Rosy.  I told them to remember that, and we would do that tomorrow.  Unsatisfied, my little director stepped in to run circle time herself.  She organized the kids into a circle, sang the song, then did the noticing of each child after.

That is what caught my attention.  Her cute little voice saying "R has one foot up in the air, and two hands on the floor.  M is laying flat on the floor with her eyes closed.  S is..."  So cute, and capable.
