Pink Floyd Lessons

Something I learned today:

When selecting Pink Floyd albums to share with your children, select carefully.

"Ummagumma - Studio Album" does not go over very well. A much better choice is "A Momentary Lapse of Reason."

It's odd, isn't it? ;)

If you don't know, Ummagumma is a kind of trippy, sit-back-and-let-the-music-sink-in type of album. Not really geared towards those in the under-5 age group. "Momentary Lapse" has more listener-friendly "radio-ready" music. Much better for the air guitarists in our house.

The color of beer

This morning the boys and I were talking about their favorite colors,
prompted by Nile who declared, "I don't like pink."

Nate's favorite colors: red and blue
Nile's favorites: red and green

I asked what they thought Tom's favorite color was. Nate's answer?

"Brown. Because brown is the color of beer!"

He knows his dad pretty well, doesn't he?

I think this should hold him.

Craft Time!

Foam sticky shapes can bring anyone together, even two boys who have been at each other all morning.
