With Into The Woods stuck in their brains the way that musical can, Sis and Bud have been putting on their own shows in the backyard. Call it "Into the Woodland Critters." Bud is a friendly, kung-fu dancing fox. Sis is a kind, berry-picking bunny. They take turns singing solos, mainly based on the opening number of Into the Woods, or dancing, during which I'm supposed to hum their theme songs ("Peter Cottontail" for her; the Wicked Witch of the West theme for him?!). Sometimes I get a walk-on as the slow hedgehog.
This new incorporation of music into play has carried over into other arenas. They now chant words that touch their fancy, like "ham," or repeat everything I say in an operatic aria ("It's time for dinner." "It's, it's it's, timmmmmeeeeee for-or-or-or din-ner!").
Bravo! Brava! Bravissimi!
