cousins coming soon

Annabelle has certain understanding of cousins. She knows that she has two cousins, M____ and A_____ who live in Dallas with their Uncle M______(who is her new boyfriend) and their mom T_______, who, like most moms, is superfluous. She also knows that there are babies in Auntie's tummy. Since my sister's delicate condition has been progressing for 35 weeks now and since there will soon be invaders in the world of Ga-ma and Gand-pa, I decided to talk up her new cousins today. I explained to her that she will be the big cousin, kind of like a big sister and she will have to show them things, like how to eat and how to walk. Annabelle immediatley got the teaching concept and chimed in "Bus song?" Yes, you can teach them "The Wheels on the Bus." She then said "play leggoes?" Yes, you can show them how to play leggoes. Her suggestions went on for a while, and all included things Annabelle absolutely loves doing and she got progrssively more excited about showing her cousins her world. During supper I questioned her in front of Hyphen about her cousins. Here is a summary of our conversation:

1. Annabelle's cousins are "coming soon."
2. The cousins are in "Auntie's tummy."
3. Santa Claus is bringing them.
4. Annabelle will play leggoes with them.
5. Annabelle will give them a lollipop.
6. Annabelle will eat candy with them.

and most importantly,

7. "driver bus move on back all the town!!!!!!!!!"

She just added this last part, but, she pretty much screamed it, so I figured it was central to our converation.
