Its no secret that Abby has always enjoyed music. Last Christmas she enjoyed the many decorations I have that light up and play music. She mostly just stared at them, but I knew she was enjoying them.
This year she wants to touch and play with them all the time. Her favorites are our Peanuts Band set and a Snowman Band set. Each set has four characters. Each character has two of its own carols that it starts and the other band mates join in. The snowmen dance around while they play.
We put them up where she couldn't get them. I just worried she would destroy them. But she knew where they were. (We scattered the peanuts throughout the living room, but the snowmen we together on a side table). After watching her struggle to get a snowman off the table to see it, I finally gave in and let her have one to hold.
She immediately brings it over to you and wants you to play it. We're currently teaching her how to play it herself. She knows she has to push the front, but isn't clear that there is a small button to push.
She listens to it. Sometimes she dances to the music. Then she brings it back to you to play again.
I love watching her get excited over the little things.
