Little Pituitary Gland

Yesterday I read Georgie a few facts about nerves, and she really picked up on the pituitary gland. For some reason, that's what she mainly got out of the lesson, although we had a great time playing "Secret in a Sack"--a game where I put different objects in a paper bag and she feels them to guess what they are and describe their texture.

Later that day, she starts chatting about the pituitary gland (remembering the correct pronunciation perfectly), and showing me where the gland is on a baby doll.

Later than that, she was in the living room playing and starts singing a little song about the pituitary gland. It went like this:

Little Pituitary Gland
Little Pituitary Gland
At the back of your little head
Telling you to grow from a baby
And then a toddler.
Grow and grow and grow
To a big kid and then a grownup--
Little Pituitary Gland
Helps you do it.

Not bad for 5!
