weinraub’s words

Becca insists on referring to “Play-Doh” modeling clay as “Plato”.

Love it!

The number is kind of slow – and all in Thai – but tough through it. There are a few cute bits in there, like the hug she gives her partner, if the clothes they are wearing are not enough for you.

But the big pay-off comes at the end when the boy is expected to pull some flowers out of his pocket and comes up a little short. The crowd just roared with laughter. And Becca’s reaction is pretty funny, too.

This evening, I browsed to this video of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik in an attempt to expose Becca somewhat belatedly to some of the classics – at least as far I, with my own plebeian, low-brow sensibilities, am familiar with them.

Turns out she already knew it. Which she proved by humming along nearly the whole way.

That’s my gal!

[BTW, I personally think it's a great performance.]

Last night after Becca finished her bowl of spaghetti, she asked for some more. As I left to get it, she called out, “Not a lot, just a smidge.”

Where did she pick up that word? Just love that little gal.

The kids each danced with their classes at the recent Children’s Day event at their school.

Benjamin

A note about Benjamin’s performance. You will notice that at some points in the song, he is looking at his hands, trying to get his fingers just right. He’s trying to create this hand/finger configuration:

Call me

Very cute that he is so concerned about getting it right.
