- Heave Away -- The Fables
- Hey, there, Delilah -- Plain White Tees
- "The monkey on the back song" aka Anyone Else But You -- The Moldy Peaches (Now, can you figure out why she calls it that?!?! It took us about a week to get it right!)
- Can I Go Nowhere with You -- Joel Plaskett
- Mull River Shuffle -- the Rankin Family
- I've Been Everywhere Man -- Johnny Cash
- Ain't No Sunshine -- Matt Andersen
Pretty well rounded song choices for a 2 and a half year old, I think ♫
Also, while driving in the car, we hear a lot about her friend, Robert Slaney.
(Now... for those of you who don't know, the real Robert Slaney is a hockey player with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles who Brenley adores. She loves him. Everything about hockey is about Robert Slaney.) But... she's brought this puck bunny thing to a whole new level in naming her imaginary friend "Robert Slaney".
As I mentioned, Robert Slaney -- the imaginary appears mainly in the car and is often doing things she thinks are bad -- "Robert Slaney doesn't have his socks on, Mamaidh!" "Robert Slaney isn't wearing his seatbelt!" and so on. So, we have to play along and get her to correct Robert Slaney... which she does quite eagerly!
I don't know if it's cute... or scary. Thankfully, Robert Slaney -- the hockey player in real life is a great guy and is super sweet to her!
Other than the imaginary friend, the other biggest milestone is the seeking of independence. I can't tell you how many times in the past few weeks we've heard "That's not fair, Mamaidh/Dadaidh! Oh, Man! That's not fair!" (How does someone at 2 and a half have a concept of fair and unfair?!?!?)
It's been fun. It's been trying on the nerves!
