Outside!

Little Elvis loves being outside. I'm sure I've mentioned this before. He gets so excited when he thinks we're heading out, and if I bring him in before he's ready he lets me know it.

Shortly after we noticed his huge love of the outdoors, I started singing Petula Clark's "Downtown." Instead of "downtown," I would sing "outside." I'm sure many of you know where this is leading... another music video!

While in Mississippi, we shot tons of video of a happy (and sometimes naked) Little Elvis playing outside. This gave us the perfect excuse to use my latest song idea.

There is a downside to this video: I am the singer. Bob is the musical one of our family. I am a chorus singer at best. But we had to rewrite some of the lyrics, which means one of us had to sing it. And a deep male voice singing to "Downtown" just didn't make sense to me.



And the playgroup from last Friday went really well. The turnout was small, but I think that was probably a good thing. We sat around and talked for the most part. Little Elvis had no problem sharing his toys, but he expected his guests to share their animal crackers and drink boxes with him in return. He also decided to forego his nap that afternoon. Still, it was nice, and the little girl who came had a good time trying on the feather boa and one of my shirts. It was very cute.
