Bode Applauding

We've found Bode really likes watching youtube music videos. His favorites (as of right now) are Evgeny Kissin playing Listz's La Campanella, Beethoven's Turkish March and Rage Over the Lost Penny, and Mozart's K545. He also has a few children's songs he seems to enjoy. However, he won't applaud unless he really likes it. Here's Bode watching/listening to the end of The Lost Penny. You can hear him say, "Yaaah!" and also see him clapping.

Bode will also applaud in the car when he hears a song he likes--but only at the end. For awhile, his favorite was Linus and Lucy (from Peanuts). He'd hear the first few piano bars and start bobbing his head and laughing. We might have overplayed it because his reaction now isn't what it used to be. He also seems to like Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You. Sadly, I'm the one (not Ashley) that downloaded this particular song to the iPod...

Beautiful weekend. We were at another one of Dayton's great parks today--not being facetious here. The parks in this area are fantastic (at least they use the high real estate taxes for something). This park had a great slide, swings, and an awesome fountain/sprinkler system. I'll take pictures next time we go. Little fellow had a great time, but screamed like Ashley when Auburn loses when it was time to go :-)

Pleasant day.
