the sound of music

Much to the hubby's chagrin, I often find myself wandering the house singing tunes from The Sound of Music. (How can one help it when your wee daughter's name is Maria... and she often merits a singing of, "How do you solve a problem like Maria?..." ;D) So here's my brief, not quite rhyming version of "My Favorite Things" from M's perspective.

Wet puppy noses and tails on black kittens
Balls of bright colors and babies galore
The bright shinning mo-on placed high in the sky
These are a few of my favorite things

When my teeth hurt
When my corks fall
When my dada's gone
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad





M noticed the moon the other night for the 1st time. She pointed, asked "waa?", then spent nearly a full minute staring at it (a long time for my wee child).

We are a Sound of Music family, too, Jena!! It's my absolute favorite movie. The boys will beg to watch the songs over and over again and then run around singing them. Maria is SO cute.
