A request after dinner
Oliver gets out of his chair and asks (we've been working on getting him to ask for things nicely)
'May I listen to some music please?'
- Sure. What would you like to hear?
'The horn. Miles Davis, Sketch...es of Spaiiin'.
I'm not sure if it's the connection to Spain (he's fixated on that country on his placemat of world flags and his anthem-playing soccer ball) or a fascination with the image of 'the man with the trumpet', but Oliver seems to be developing an interest in jazz. And Mozart horn concertos.
He's also started requesting 'beelabaa', which Mimi initially compared to scat singing but which now seems to be his word for jazz, specifically jazz featuring lots of insistent tsss-tsst cymbal work. Miles In The Sky currently fulfills this need.
