I woke up to the dulcet tones of "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo". (Norman was already up and about.) I was confused because I knew it had to be a record, but I thought if I had that song, it had to be on a 45, and I figured Lucy would not be able to put in the converter and switch it to 45rpm by herself. WRONG. I had showed her how to do it once, and now she can do it.
Found a detail-rich map of Sesame Street in our Old School Sesame Street DVD set. Spent a while looking at it and talking with me about all the details.
Read Edwina the Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct to herself several times.
Read Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day to herself.
We played waiter. She has a restaurant order pad. She had me take her order (PB&J and kombucha, which it turns out I was actually supposed to get for her). I played along and made the food for her and acted like a waiter. Then she wanted to play again after she finished eating, so I had her take my order -- fake sushi and fake chocolate milkshake. It was delicious. :-)
Watched a Charlie & Lola compilation. One episode was about getting a haircut, and another was about loose baby teeth. (We've been trying to prepare her for the reality of this bizarre phenomenon, so that's good.)
Painting with watercolors.
Read herself a Sesame Street book.
Played with her voice recorder.
Jumped on the exercise trampoline I got for her. (It lives outside unless the weather is bad.)
Really big lately on singing this one particular song with some manner of shaky instrument and her old broken microphone. At the top of her lungs, naturally. Sometimes she enlists me as a mic stand.
Norman read her I am Extremely Absolutely Boiling (Charlie & Lola).
