Riley is so entertaining these days, it’s a shame we’ve gotten so behind on the blog. She literally makes me laugh every single day, and I just want to hug and kiss her all the time.
I wanted to share some of Riley’s favorite videos… She doesn’t watch tv at all, but she gets to watch a few short youtube videos on the computer before going to sleep at night (honestly it’s kind of a bribe to get her to brush her teeth and get ready for bed). Doesn’t take the place of reading books, that comes after, but it has become a regular part of the bedtime routine.
Anyway, here’s a few she asks for frequently that we also like:
Elmo and Andrea Bocelli:
Elmo and Robert DeNiro:
Kermit and Debbie Harry:
Of course there’s tons more, but that’s a good sample.
yay youtube!
Hello Elise and Sage,
I always get very excited when i see a new posting on the Riley blog, but these are indeed very special and fun. I especially love the Andrea Bocceli one – really sweet!
I’m also excited that I’ll be seeing you at a special wedding in a few months! Yeah!
love, Anne
Hey,
What a classy way to sing a child (or a parent) to sleep—Andrea Bocelli is the best. Thinking about you all and I love these postings. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop on Riley’s development. She is such a treasure. Love, Oma Peggy
You know, I remember reading about the whole Elmo doll mayhem a number of years ago–christmas stampedes in the Wal-Mart and whatnot, but I had never known what Elmo actually was. A muppet. Elmo is a muppet, or sesame-street somethingorother. I had no idea. I feel like my world is different now.
I like the Debbie Harry/Kermit number; I have a soft spot for that song. Tell Riley “HI” from Ronin for us.
