Abatootie and Single Ladies

Miss Lu decided tonight would be a good time to invent a new word: Abatootie. She ran around the house saying "abatootie" and laughing hysterically to anyone who would listen (or not). She was enjoying herself so much we decided to make an abatootie movie.

Afterwards, Lu felt the need to perform her version of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" song, which she 

was introduced to when I took her to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquell" (no idea how 

to spell that—sorry!). She immediately fell in love with its infectious beat and repetitive lyricism. And 

now she sings and dances to it all the time. Here, she's actually trying to follow the song, but she has 

no compunction about making up her own lyrics to fit whatever the situation.
