Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!

I'm a little Monkey

I'm a little monkey
Climbing up a ladder
Climbing to the top to
Pick a pink banana.

I'm a little monkey
Climbing down the ladder
Climbing to the ground to
Eat a pink banana.

A train! A train! A train! A train!

Alina turned 7 on Thursday.  As usual, she's been counting the days.  Here she is:

 And here is her cake.  I was rather proud of it.  Especially since it started out just as a double batch of banana bread, which she had requested and for which I had no particular plans in terms of shape.

 Blow hard, Alina!!!!

Mozart

ALINA (Singing Mozart's Alleluia while I was dishing up food)
MAMA: Alina, no Mozart at the table.  (We actually have a no singing at the table rule.)
ALINA: (A few minutes later, humming an aria from "The Marriage of Figaro")
MAMA:  Alina, I said no Mozart at the table!
ALINA:  But, Mama, he's hungry!
