All around the kitchen

At dinner time we have started playing music while we cook to entertain the little one who is so impatient for the food (that she won't eat) to be ready. Sometimes we listen to adult music, but more often than not we turn on the kiddie tunes. Her music collection is very small. She liked Raffi for awhile, and I don't mind they guy-but after 3000's Mr. Suns…OI! I went surfing around iTunes to find some decent kid/family songs and came across Dan Zanes. Apparently, he has been around for awhile, but that's news to me. Anyway, I downloaded: Skip to my Lou, Polly Wolly, and the cooking time favorite-All around the Kitchen. It is kinda happy/folky music, but we rather like it now. Keely really likes it and it entertains her for a bit. If you're interested in listening to some samples of it, click this. I've only listened to a few of the other songs and they didn't particularly tickle my fancy. The above photo shows what happens when the kitchen iPod's battery has died and there is no music. Food is all around the kitchen, instead of dancing and singing.

Dog Bath

Could he look any sadder? I just don’t think so. The poor boy had to get a bath today. Keely loves when he gets a bath. We washed him, blow-dried him, and brushed him. She said, “There puppy, now you aren’t a stinky boy anymore. You smell just like flowers!” Then she put his blanket in the sun for him to lay on. Aw.

Also along the lines of cuteness: This morning she made up a song that went like this: ” I just loooooooove you mommy. You are the best everest moooomy in the whole wide woooorld.” Imagine her arms spread out and her chin going up and down as she carried out the last word in a trill/run (Thankyou for the singing lingo American Idol.) Then, she sang one for daddy too. Gotta love that kind of goodness huh? That sweetness just makes me all teary-eyed.
