Toys

I'd like to thank whoever was the mastermind behind the Toy Lending Library. Every couple of weeks we get to borrow toys, take them home to play with, and then return them where they are washed and made ready for another child to borrow. It's a great way to keep Esmé interested in exploring new toys, to learn what she likes to play with, and of course it is fantastic for the environment. Less toys manufactured, less toys bought, less toys cluttering the house, less toys tossed aside by a bored child, less toys in the landfill. Brilliant.

Nursery Rhyme Mash Up

Have you ever noticed that the songs "Twinkle twinkle little star", "Baa baa black sheep", and the "ABCs" all have the exact same tune?

Things like this become very important pieces of information when one has to sing these songs a million times before naps or bed. Lately my lullaby boredom has lead me to search out new songs so I can stop singing Christmas carols in July. (I can now remember the words all the way up to 12 drummers drumming.)

So you can imagine my excitement when I realized that these three songs have the same tune. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

So here is my new nursery rhyme mash up...

Our Resident Peeping Tom

It is one of the funniest things to be taking a shower and then suddenly have the curtain pulled back and see a little midget grinning up at you. She does this almost daily now and we laugh every time.
