Fulfilling the measure of creation

One great thing about young children is how they bring new meaning to objects which previously seemed mundane. You see how these everyday objects blossom with their new purpose.

For example, here are the new titles we can give to various objects in the house:

Phone: now called "Mobile device for watching YouTube clips of 'Let's Go Fly a Kite.'"
Couch: now called "Viewing location for 'Let's Go Fly a Kite.'"

Laptop: now called 'Alternate device for watching "Let's Go Fly a Kite.'"

Piano: "Live accompaniment device for 'Let's Go Fly a Kite.'"

Floor: "Stage for live performances of 'Let's Go Fly a Kite.'"

Stairs: now titled "Alternate stage for performances of 'Let's Go Fly a Kite,'" although sometimes at bedtimes the words are changed to "Let's go Fly a  . . .Vitamin. Let's go Fly a Brush Teeth."  (Also fitting into this category: crib, chairs, bathtub, car)

Curiously, it has been impossible to get a good video of Matthew singing it. The second we pull out our phones he runs over and asks "Can I see it?" So, this audio recording is the best we've got. It doesn't quite capture how he just wanders around saying "tuppence, paper, string . . . wings . . . bird, fist holding tight" or other parts of the song. But it's a start.




Oh, and one last title:
Matthew: "Cute kid who really likes songs about kites." So far I think he knows how to fulfill the measure of his creation.
