A blanket fluttered over his head
Lying on my legs while being sung to
Being lifted overhead to "fly"

"This Old Man" sung by Grandma
"You Are My Sunshine" sung by Grandpa

James's favorite little blond girl is in the foreground. Notice how he ignores all the other toys just for her.

  3. Marianne: Aw, thanks! Near and Far is a big crowd pleaser. I usually entertain both babies at the same time with that.
