The Boys
Drew has a black eye. The boys were pulling photo albums off of the bookshelf (which they know they’re not allowed to do) and he got cracked under the eye.
Fake Believe:
The other day the boys and I were pretending to eat ice cream cones. A week later we were playing with their pots and pans and feeding each other, and they remembered the ice cream cones and were trying to eat ice cream from my pretend cone. “Fake Believe” is the title of a song from a new CD/DVD the boys got for Christmas. It’s They Might Be Giants, Here Come the ABC’s. It’s an awesome CD/DVD. Mike and I have been going around the house singing the songs, and they’re not annoying. The boys enjoy hearing the music and watching the DVD, and they’re learning lots about their letters.
Funny things:
1. At night when we tuck the boys in we play “Tuck Tuck Goose.” We tuck the boys in saying tuck, tuck, tuck, then tap them on the head for Goose! So now Brandon goes around the house making the sounds for tuck, tuck, Goose! and then throws something. He’ll do it over and over again.
2. Sometimes the boys get to watch a video on my computer, so when I pull out the computer to play music for them, they pull up their chairs. So you might find them sitting in their chairs facing the bookshelf, looking up at the computer which is just playing music!
3. I told you before that Drewie likes to dip things. He really likes to dip chicken nuggets in to sweet and sour sauce, but today he sunk to a new low…drinking the sweet and sour sauce.
4. Sometimes when Drew is playing with his blocks, he’ll stop and look at the last block he put on, say “no”, take it off and put a new one in it’s place!
My sisters kids were always singing the “Pictures of Pandas Painting” song last year.
Yeah…They Might Be Giants..who says the bands we loved in teh 80′s shouldn’t go with us all thru our lives. Keya was CRAZY about that cd in May, so I can join right in with..Fake Believe…also thought you might appreciate the Jan 14th entry from this mom’s blog-http://kathie.squarespace.com/journal/- climbing boys and all. Nice work on the triple blogging..go Shayna!
Two of their albums have been certified gold and this is one of them. This is there 2nd or 3rd children’s CD. We’re guessing that as they had kids they decided to start into the children’s music genre. They’re probably singing them to their kids anyway, why not make a cd?
. They have a new CD coming out on the 123′s, can’t wait!
Note: Mike has the Alphabet Of Nations memorized. He’d probably be happy if you asked him to sing it for you
