“Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rice“
— Lucy’s version of Sing a Song of Sixpence
Lucy wrote a shopping list and brought it to my store. This is what it said:
Bouncy Mushroom (see fig. 1)
ABC for Wubie (2)
‘Pinano’ music for Wubie to practice (3)
Xylophone (4)
Stickers for me
Cat Toy for Wubie
Circus Cat
Merry-Go-Round
This post has to be a quick one because the kid just dropped by and said “It’s time for block time.” So, since I have a playdate that’s awaiting, here are a few words and pics having to do with music.
Jill and Lucy came back from a visit with Auntie Laura the other day raving about a radio show Auntie had playing, Little Steven’s Underground Garage. The music is really cool, much of it neat pop/rock stuff from the 60s. (I didn’t even know Soupy Sales had a catchy tune called Your Brains Will Fall Out.) Note: though the music is great, the web site is pretty terrible.
We usually listen to music while we play, so the kid is already developing her own taste about what she likes. (note: the kid just dropped by again. I’m running late!) She’s even got to the point where she’s curious about making music. Jill and I will do our best to encourage this curiosity. Who knows, maybe she’ll turn out to be another Soupy Sales! Probably not.
Other examples of Lucy and music:
Oh well, I’m off to play blocks. Bye.
Lucy plays houses almost every night, and usually there isn’t enough room in the main house for both animal families, so we build another one.
Here’s one located on an island, reached by a bridge. (Note the mice floating on cake islands.)
The other day we built a house for the mouse family which reminded me of the Guggenheim museum, hence the title of this post:
The mouse family inside their new house, they also got some furniture this build:
An overview shot, and a clue to how long it lasted:
I found a neat tool online, The Squirrelizer, that lets users make their own Squirrel Crasher pics. Check it out if you find yourself thinking your photographs need that little something extra.
