Things That Go

Tess is deep in a "Things That Go" stage. Busses, trucks, bikes, scooters, cars, tractors, airplanes, etc. are all so fascinating to her, and these objects are the center of much of her play. On this theme, she wants to listen to the song, Wheels on the Bus ALL THE TIME. First thing in the morning, she points at the computer and makes the sign for THE song.

So here's a small taste of what we do many, many times each day. The version of the song I'm playing is one a friend sent me. It's a very jazzy rendition, and Eric and I prefer it to the kids versions, though we are both haunted by it day and night right now. When the video starts, Tess thinks I won't put the song on, because she doesn't recognize the musical intro. This is what happens when I play other music. She gets very upset and just wants her song.

Anyhow, enjoy. :)

I've watched this video about ten times. And made my grandma watch it, and my Aunt Melinda.

CRACKS ME UP when she gets dizzy. It looks like she is thinking, "Well, now, what the hell is this going on here?"

It must be really strange to encounter being dizzy as a little kid, before you have a clear category for it.
