Gleaning Facebook: Baby Shark!

Residing a continent away from our beloved grandchildren requires ingenuity in gift-giving. For Clementine's first birthday last April we produced a picture book for her called Who Loves Clementine? It was a great success and reminds her of her East Coast family every time she looks at it.

For Christmas we have been working on an amateur video for Clemmie & Ruth (well, really for Clemmie now and Ruthie eventually) Clementine is fascinated with a certain baby carnivorous cartilaginous fish*. She asks the silly song about said fish to be played every time she is strapped into her carseat. She has watched a video version of it likely hundreds of times. So we produced --- well, Lillian produced --- an absolutely ridiculous iPhone video version of the song starring Granny, Grandshaw, and Aunt Lil with her ukulele. I cannot tell you how much fun we have had creating this two-minute bit of insanity! It ended up taking an extra day to complete, but what difference does that make to a one-year-old and a newborn? Lillian just sent the edited final product and Sheila and I have watched it about a dozen times in the last couple of hours.

(Later)

Now that our California family has seen it, I'll allow my Facebook friends to see how truly insane Grandshaw Terrell & Granny Sheila can be....
