Music Box


Officially, it's known as the Mozart Magic Cube.
Davis knows it as his music box, and he's had it just about all of his life.
It's been pretty neat seeing him develop with the toy. It took him a while before he was able to focus his strength to push the over-sized buttons for the different instruments. Then came the day when he figured-out the on/off button. Before then, Davis would hit the off button accidentally, and it would really upset him that his favorite toy might be broken. He would lay on the floor and scream -really scaring us. Of course it was a serious issue for Davis, but we were relieved when one day he simply picked-up the toy, brought it over to one of us and said "fix it?"
Now Davis can name all the different instruments -piano, harp, flute, violin, french horn and he can also say 'orchestra'. He can push the one you ask for, but just as important, he can independently search through all of his toys, find it, play with it, then put it back when asked.
Davis thinks the french horn is kinda funny
He enjoys watching other kids playing with the same toys that he plays with -by searching YouTube. There are hundreds of videos under 'bouncing zebra' -and Davis has his favorites. He recognizes (and sometimes asks to see) Chloe from Minnesota who has the same zebra, Little Tikes slide, and lawn chair. We haven't found too many Mozart Cube videos, but we're always looking.

欢乐中国的明天!

How about having Chinese food tomorrow?      Great! December 13th is Chinese Tomorrow! What is Chinese Tomorrow? When families get together for Chinese food and celebrate everything that is 'put-off' until tomorrow.   Here are a few rules: Everyone wears black (the actual day 'tomorrow' is dark & never sees a sunrise) Celebrate things that are put-off until tomorrow (find joy in those normally unpleasant procrastinations) Choose just one person to open a single fortune cookie (everyone else must wait until tomorrow ) Blog about it (post the fortune's lucky numbers as the title) Enjoy the great food! (Chinese food buffets are the best!)  欢乐中国的明天!

Happy New Year!
