This is too cute (and shows the funny influences TV has on our children)...
I got out my clarinet to practice the other afternoon, with the girls at my feet. Ryleigh was very interested in what I was doing, watching intently as I assembled the instrument, asking about the reed, etc. I started to warm up, playing some scales and stuff. Ryleigh was fascinated. She's heard me play before, but admittedly, it's been a while. She said, "Blow some notes, Mommy." So I played a few notes. "Blow some notes, Mommy." A little more insistent. And again, "Blow some notes, Mommy." I laughed and said, "Ryleigh, I am 'blowing notes.'"
"No, Mommy, make the colored ones come out." Huh?! Ryan and I looked at each other again, and then he started to laugh, realizing what she meant. On Little Einsteins on the Disney Channel, rainbow-colored notes come out of the instruments. Ryleigh was very disappointed to learn she could not see Mommy's notes. We told her to close her eyes and imagine a color. (The notes were all green, no matter what I did.) Oh, out of the mouths of babes! Too cute!
In other news, the Sleep Fairy works, and we are all sleeping! Woo hoo! We are bumping up to every other night. And Ashtyn is pulling up on things now. Oh no.
