The Training Plan, Playing with Mago (sounds), Rapt Attention

Tia relates that the other day she was driving with Mago and I assume also Nem-nem, both in their car seats. She told Mago:

“Once you learn to ride your tricycle we’ll get you a bigger tricycle. And when you learn to ride that, we’ll get you a bicycle with training wheels. And when you learn to ride that, we’ll get you a bigger bicycle.”

Mago paused at these words, then said: “And then a motorcycle.”

Here are some recent recordings I made playing with him, edited together.

First it’s me wrapping him in a blanket and carrying him up and down stairs, as mentioned in Update 13, then the other day at a playground to give Tia a break, then at bath-time, he playing at drive-through operator (re Update 16).

Maybe two weeks ago I played the following music over my computer and he came out of his room, sat in the chair in front of the computer, and simply listened intently. It is a Medieval Anglo-Saxon Nativity (Christmas) piece performed by Synfonye.

It isn’t legal for me to play that last here – I think I’ll just declare my guilt and settle out of court! So no download link. Synfonye has some free tracks available here. Here are several links to purchase the album – it has a lot of great stuff [1] [2] [3].
