Congradulations to you both.

So, when does the indoctrination begin?

It already has - for instance I just started listening to The Silmarillion as an audiobook so she has been exposed to the Ainulindalë. (And unfortunately she might have heard some sounds of The Rings of Power too. ) I also played/sang her some songs from the old Finnish LotR theatre/tv production... her favourite seemed to be Gimli's song of Dúrin which he sings in Moria. Interesting choice, I daresay! I guess 'Downs indoctrination will have to wait a little longer...

Also as far as songs go, the song of Eärendil (which I sing in Czech) seems to be good for putting to sleep (well, I guess it is repetitive enough to pick up the pattern). Last time she seemed especially happy at the description of armour and all the other equipment. Other ones I have exposed her to (also in Czech) were the second version of the Dwarven song (the wind over withered heath), the song of Nimrodel, and a bit of Gollum's song.

Plus, yesterday when we were typing our respective rants about the RoP, she was present and Lommy showed her the very 'Downs and she reputedly seemed interested

I know it will be some time yet but I look forward to seeing her first attempts on the keyboard. I have to be very vigilant when typing because my cat really wants to express her opinion about Beruthiel and once she even hit a key combination that froze the keyboard. I had to reboot to be able to get the keyboard back. I don't think she's heard me talk about the "mouse" but who knows.

Remember to take a screen shot for her baby book!
