Music Lesson

I got to listen to a really good piece of music today - a song Mom really likes, called "In The Hall Of The Mountain King."

We're trying to get into a routine. After my daddy goes to work in the morning, I'm usually wide awake, so I sit with Mom while she eats breakfast & plays on the computer a little bit. After a while I get bored with that, so we go back to the bedroom & I get my second breakfast. (Mom & Dad say I eat like a hobbit - whatever that is.) Then Mama plays with me! I get to go on my tummy on the bed. Everything looks very different when you're on your tummy. I can hold up my head and lift myself up partway with one arm, and Mama says that's real good, but I keep trying to do more and I just can't quite manage it...so I get frustrated sometimes.

After lunchtime, I'm usually sleepy again, so Mom lets me lie in her big bed with her, and we watch TV until we fall asleep. After our nap, Mama changes the TV to play music. Sometimes we listen to silly songs that make my mom laugh and bob her head up & down, and she dances me around the room. Sometimes it's a bunch of girl singers with guitars & Mom sings the songs to me. Today it was classical. The Mountain King song was neat, & we also heard a pretty song by somebody called James Galway. Mama said it was "Annie's Song" and she hummed along in my ear. I liked it, it was pretty - but Mom said we better not let Daddy catch us listening to that. She says he doesn't like John Denver. I don't know who that is... but I wonder what he ever did to my daddy?
