The Barrow Wights in the Lord of the Rings have quite caught her imagination. She's been doing a lot of pretend play with them, and today she made up a long song about them too. I only got the last couple of minutes on video, but here it is.
Here is the poem
The Song of the Barrow Wights, an original song by Bethany
The barrow will not run along
Or lock away from man
Away from the moon, away from the spoon
Then the way... was locked!
Away from the moon, away from the spoon
Oh my tummy is round
With a tummy's old sound
With a rum, with a tumble
With a bum, with a bumble
A rum with a bumble with a slam....ble
With a tummy old rum, they slammed away
Away from the moon, away from the spoon
Away from the sun, away from the spoon
Away they go, away...
Without a word they imagined Hoon
But with us
Without a number they ran and saw
Far under the old stones, all right
They saw a bunch of barrow wights
Far in the Old Forest we saw...
A bunch of barrow wights
They gave us quite a fright
They gave us such a fright
Away we ran, but they caught us
(Indecipherable phrase)
We cried... cried...
But they away and into the night they ran

Wow! Is she really playing or just pretending? I am so amazed!!
Glad she is at the piano. Does she let you play yet?
She is really playing, in that she is really pressing down the keys and accompanying herself singing and all that, but she is pretending in that she isn't reading the notes from that book in front of her or anything and neither have I taught her how to play the piano (as if she'd let me!)
Yes, she does let me play again nowadays. Such a relief! :)
