W is the first in the show

Weston's been working on his letters pretty good. I mean, pretty well. He's keen to point out a "W" or an "S" on a sign. Just the other day at swim lessons at the YMCA, he spelled out h-o-n-e-s-t...what's that last letter? Y. H-o-n-e-s-t-Y.

Daddy has been waiting write a hit song since, well, forever. Seemed like it might be a good thing to help WV learn to spell his name. A few minutes, and a few chords yielded the following.

Behold!


Overheard in our house



All these lines have recently been spoken by WVL; who/what he is speaking to and for is described to the best of our ability.

Pteranadon: (talking to a Matchbox Honda S2000 who is currently hitching a ride in a boxcar being pulled by Thomas the Tank Engine) No, I was told in 3 minutes it would be my turn to ride the train. Get off the train.

see how the cars ride the train?


***

Car: (talking to a plastic "pop bead train engine") Your wheels are amazing.

***

Car: (talking to Lightening McQueen) Hey Steve McQueen come meet our new friends! This is our brother van.
This is our brother Mater.

Original Song

Weston is quite the songwriter. I managed to capture a couple versions of his newest piece.
I have attempted to transcribe them for you....


...too much play
when we go to night
and the cars are night
and we don't need cars
they go to height(?)
they
and the too much play to plllaaayyyy

in the second part of the video I asked him to sing it again for daddy to hear....

the moon is out to play when we go
and the cars were wheels
and the too much dark to plllaaayyy
