Ammon is such a musical child, and he adores strong music. This morning he listened to the whole Wicked soundtrack before leaving his room, and before that he’s spent the last few months listening to Mozart’s Queen of the Night aria, Imagine Dragons, Fiddler on the Roof, and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker obsessively. Today he added Beethoven’s 5th symphony to his list of favorites. We read a book about it, and then I turned on Fantasia 2000…and he’s been humming the theme and calling himself “King Beethoven” ever since. He asked me to repeat the words, “Symphony number five by Beethoven” slowly so he can ask Alexa to play it for him. Obviously this fills me with joy and delight.
Clarissa likes strong female figures, and so lately her favorite movie is…Maleficent. Abe took a picture of her watching it in our bed (this pic was from Monday, actually. But I am too lazy to make it its own blog after accidentally putting it here.)
Also we got a security system installed today. It’s amazing and we love it so much already. Thanks to our friend Randy Blosil for getting us a great deal with Vivant! Next step, our bernadoodle deterrent, which I put a deposit on a couple days ago and expect sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2021. Yay puppy!
