As I mentioned before, M uses Media Monkey to organize his digital music. The other morning he searched for the word "baba" after affectionately calling D "Baba O'Riley." "Baba" because that is what he says and "O'Riley" for his nickname from Grandad. These are the songs we listened to:
Baba O'Riley by The Who,
Babaji by Supertramp,
Babalu by
Yma Sumac, and Tchaikovsky's
The Hut of Baba Yaga. M would have spent hours going through his actual CD collection to find these four songs. It took less than a second to find them with Media Monkey.
I spent too much time trying to get a video of D saying "baba" this morning. Today is the first day of school (sorta-we did do a few things over break) and I'm
supposed to stick to my plan, right? I did! I spent too much of my
knitting time trying to get a video of D saying "baba!" School went really well. My three students did their math, language arts, and social studies/history. And they went on a field trip to observe animal habitats-on the 10 acres!
Here we have
Baba Fakes A Whimper:
And then we have
Baba Crawls Off the Couch:
And finally,
Baba sings The Isty Bitsy Spider and Gets Distracted
And for my prayer warrior friends out there, tomorrow morning Grandad is going in to have a medical procedure done that will leave him pretty down and out. He is not a praying man himself, but he is going to need it!
