A very good stretch, these last two weeks. Cleo is slowly learning to read, and can string together several short, simple words at a time. She's got some good friends, and they generally play well together, dashing off to devise narratives that are usually long on princesses and costumes (if a touch short on traditional cohesiveness). And she remains curious about the world around her. Yesterday, as watched a cartoon version of the Babar story, she asked if the accompanying music was by Mozart. Well, no - but I love the question.
Put some of those tendencies together, and occasionally you get a delightfully surprising new burst of creativity. The other day, feeling heady after a good day, Cleo started to sing a song that she's made up precisely to convey her sense of unflappable confidence. You can see the result, re-enacted yesterday, above; hope you enjoy.
