Making Movies



Chloe was "making movies" while we were hangin out in Grandma Kris's yard.  Some of them were silent where she was telling the story with her body language; and some of them were speaking where she would introduce what she was going to do next.  She was jumping far off the rock wall, running fast, hopping on one foot and curling up like a little baby animal.  It was so cute when she would introduce the video because she kept calling the camara "people".  "Okay, watch this people".  Some of her antics in the silent movies make me happy all the way down.  She's adorable and funny.  I took a bunch of videos of her and I'll surely keep them forever.

Improv Abby

Chloe sometimes asks Abby to play guitar and sing silly songs about animals. Together they will pick an animal or some other topic and then Abby will start strumming her guitar thinking of some lines. Chloe just beams at her waiting to hear what she's going to sing.
Soon enough, Chloe is acting out the animal around the room and Abby is singing silly lyrics to keep up with her. I'm certain Chloe doesn't yet understand how much talent Abby has in those times. She sings wonderfully and makes up line after line of funny and rhyming songs. Sometimes she works in a lyric or tune that resembles a song we as adults only know and smiles at me. Meanwhile, I'm laughing and beaming at the two of them. It's real, beautiful family entertainment. I love these two souls.
