Conducting at it's Finest

Rachel has been practicing her saxaphone in preparation for music camp auditions this afternoon. She was sitting at the island, tooting her horn when Tye came running in, begging to get to play. After finally realizing she wasn't going to give up the sax, he climbed up on a bar stool across from her, clad in only his underwear, and used a bendy straw to direct Rachel. We were cracking up! Rachel was having a hard time keeping her mouth from smiling while still trying to play.

Then...he pointed the straw at her and said STOP! She stopped playing and he said...stick out your tongue! She stuck out her tongue, which was bright blue from something she had eaten. He said...your tongue is blue! Then he started conducting again!

Then tonight he told one of the preschool teachers (we saw her at the swim meet) that he lost a tooth, and the tooth fairy brought him a dinosaur. She asked if she could come see it. He said...hmm, I have to tell you, it's real! Jeez!
