Zolo has been composing his own songs lately. They're pretty cute - very reminiscent of auntie lisa's "strawberry song" in form, if not content. He is also potty-training, so he spends an awful lot of time contemplating his penis. Today, these two parts of zolo's life were merged, resulting in the production of "the penis song" (zolo explicitly said thats's what it's called). It goes like this: "penis, penis, penis. Penis, peeee-nis, PEEE-NIS. Penis, penis, penis." Repeat. Quite a lot. It should be understood that, in terms of performance art, this was serious stuff - zolo doesn't think the word "penis" is any funnier than the word "apple," and this production was every bit as serious as his nuanced performance of "twinkle, twinkle, little star" or the alphabet song.
Tycho has pointed out that I forgot to mention that zolo accompanied his own vocal performance with the rhythm of maracas, cleverly improvised by commandeering 2 handy bottles of antihistamine tablets. (By the way, zolo knew he was using maracas.) It was impressive.
I forgot one last feature of this impromptu performance - zolo was sitting on his potty (shaped like a throne), waiting to pee.
It was wonderful. We did not record it because we want our child to speak to us when he's 16. So - no pics for this post, but I hope u feel it was wrth reading, anyway.
