Back in December the kids watched a Curious George Christmas movie a lot... and have been humming the "Christmas Monkey" song ever since. Well, this morning I heard Catherine singing words to it -- and somehow or another she had put Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" to the tune of "Christmas Monkey."

This week we're learning Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" in honor President's Day... we'll see if she can find a nice mournful tune to that one!
