Friendship

I'm just learning about the dynamics of toddler friendships, the dynamics of playdates, the boundaries of  different parenting styles. We are so lucky to have found a good match. She is a few months older, much more steady on her feet, unbelievably advanced in the depth of her feelings and conversation. They are perfect for each other. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to watch and listen to the two of them talking and singing together. They are genuine friends, not friends because their caregivers have coordinated time to socialize their children. 







We talk about them all the time. Oliver Finn remembers that we always see her at the library and that one day we went for a walk in the snow, had cupcakes and tea for lunch (and because it's so special to have someone over or tea they lit the candles at the table), played the piano, and of course used her bathroom.

Here's one of their favorite songs. Elizabeth Mitchell is my my new favorite children's artist. She has arranged a series if classic folk songs for voice and guitar. I would love to learn to play them on guitar. Can anyone provide me with the guitar tablature for this song?
