2011-11-25: Dreaming about Songs

Nigel awoke early this morning, quite upset. Dad went in to check on him, as Mom had left for work already.

Nigel said he wanted his Spanish Christmas songs and kids' songs to both play at the same time, as they had when he was going to sleep on the farm. He told a bit more of the story when Dad asked later, saying that he was going to sleep outside in the middle of the farm, and was listening to two radios: one playing Spanish Christmas songs and the other playing kids' songs, and the one about picking a bale of hay, in particular (Jump Down, Turn Around).

2011-11-23: "Why is it you are my doctor?"

Nigel's latest doctor's appointment was a follow-up for an ear infection that he got just after his 3-year checkup. When the doctor came in, Nigel asked, "Why is it you are my doctor?" Doctor Broadbent was flummoxed for a moment, but handled it well. He said it was a good question, but not one that he was usually asked by kids Nigel's age.
