Walking and Playing Piano

Today I am 13 months old. I'm not walking on my own yet and you can't make me. I know Thomas was already walking by now and I don't care. I'll do it when I'm good and ready! So there!! I do enjoy walking everywhere as long as I can hold one of Mommy's fingers. When I want to walk somewhere, I'll look at her and hold my hand up and grunt. And if she doesn't immediately comply, I get mad. Sometimes she even tries to trick me by letting go of my hand while we're walking, but I'm too smart for her. I stop walking and sit down the second she lets go.

I really enjoy playing our piano. I like to sit on Mommy's lap and we play together. Whenever she tries to play a song, I help her by adding a few banging notes of my own. But there is one song I really like. We call it Grandpa's Song around here because Mommy's Grandpa used to play it all the time and he taught it to her. Thomas loves it too and from the time he was about my age, he'd clap his hands as Mommy played that song. I don't clap my hands but I do sit quietly while she's playing it and don't play any of my own notes. And then when the song is over, I give one regal nod of my head. Good job Mommy.
