Pieces of us: songs

The other day, I took Leo to the park for, as he calls it, "a hike in the woods". The term was coined by Ruby when she was his age so it's become a tradition and we use the term often. It's actually more like a very slow meandering on a trail in a park that's somewhat wooded, but, in any case, as tradition would have it, before we even hit the trail out comes the tune... "A hiking we will go". Leo's become quite a little singer these days and often falls asleep singing. Last night, he serenaded us with his version of "Frere Jacque"… for about an hour past his bedtime! One day on the way to visit Papa and Nanlynn in Saint John he fell asleep in the middle of the Alphabet song. I think he dozed off at QRS..... Fourty-five minutes later he woke up and mumbled "now I know my ABC's.... It was hilarious. I love hearing him sing and hope that he continues his love of music and song forever and ever. I personally, have been neglecting music as of late. To assist in the matter, I brought my guitar upstairs and gave it a new home in the living room for anyone and everyone to play at their leisure. The junk room is no place for such a beautiful instrument.

Here are some shots of what else we've been up to around here…
