1409 - DUMMY

The builders were a cheery bunch, though rather noisy, chattering away in Ukrainian. As the lorry was unloading the dumpy bags, the builders took a break for safety. One got out his guitar and they all sang some dumky. A woman passing with her baby in a push chair stopped to listen to the music and watch the lorry. The baby blew the dummy out of its mouth and joined in the music, shaking its rattle in time to the music. Mum was gobsmacked and resolved to give baby opportunities to participate in different types of music. This was a success, though baby was most motivated when listening to a dumka.

Mum sought out every opportunity for baby to listen to a dumka
