Bronwen TV

Bronwen has started to write her own songs. As you might expect, this utterly delights me. Every song she makes up fill me with dreams up future stardom, or at least dreams of her life being filled with music.

Dan gave me a mandolin for my birthday. I have always wanted to learn to play the mandolin. But it is also the perfect size for Bronwen to play.

The night I opened my present, she sat with it for half an hour playing and making up songs. The best song was the one that described everything I was doing as she was singing. It went something like:

“Mommy is cleaning up. She is picking up my shoes.
Mommy is throwing away the trash. There is a lot of trash.
Mommy wants to give me my juice…” (At which point I did indeed give her the juice.)

This kid is hilarious, and an absolute pleasure to sit back and watch. As Chris likes to say, “You’ve gotta love some Bronwen TV.”
