EARPLUGS

Merynn has always been good to practice her piano songs. But since last weekend she has developed an obsession. She is on the piano ALL THE TIME. Now, I am not complaining exactly, I am excited in her sudden leap of interest (and she is quite good at it too), it's just that I can only listen to Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Skip to My Lou and Jingle Bells so many times a day. She also likes to "make up" her own songs which, again, is fantastic but...... in small doses. Perhaps I am not a very supportive mother after all and I know I shouldn't roll my eyes every time I hear her play, but the sound of quiet in our house is so rare that sometimes I just can't help it. And seeing as I don't have the heart to tell her to get off the piano, I have a solution. I have decided that I will invest in some earplugs. That way, I can listen to her when I want too, and have some inconspicuous quiet time when I need it. Now, the question is, where can I get me some good earplugs?

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED THIS WEEK:

1. Trentan is allergic to long haired cats.

2. Deep down, Josh is a momma's boy (YAY!)

3. There is an animal called an Ibex

4. I really have no sense of direction

5. No matter how hard I try, laundry will always be my enemy. Always.
