Abi has learnt a few songs by ear, seen a few of those songs on DVD song list, but today she got up off the couch and started to dance to the music. Do-Re-Mi; The Lonely Goatherd (with marionettes); My Favourite Things; all repeated about 6 times each during the dinner cooking period. At one stage Abi ran to get a tambourine and drumsticks so that she could play along with the music. She laughed a lot at the marionettes and imitated the goat mama butting the girl goat (with Priscilla being shoved a few times). That night Abi was heard singing Do-Re-Mi as she lay waiting for sleep to descend.
In the morning Chris was minding the kids for breakfast and afterwards he put on the DVD again, this time playing all songs. Abi was fascinated by the other songs and asked where they came from. She and Pascale sat on their father's lap to watch for a while (when Priscilla emerged from her sleep-in). She now refers to Maria and the children and the papa when discussing the DVD. After bath time Abi got a veil from the dressing up box and pretended to be a bride after watching the wedding march scene with Julie Andrews walking up the very long aisle of Salzburg Cathedral.
