December 3--Advent at ADAFT 2015!

C goes to a music class for small kids every Wednesday afternoon, where we've learned lots of Danish children's songs.  At this time of year we often get to sing about nisser, the little elves that live in Danish homes and sneak around at night.  Nisser like Christmastime.

Yesterday we learned a new little ditty: Der bor en lille nissemand.

Der bor en lille nissemand
på loftets mørke rum, bummelum.
Der bor en lille nissemand
på loftets mørke rum.
Han stamper rundt, han tramper rundt,
han spiser grød, for det er sundt.
Der bor en lille nissemand
på loftets mørke rum.

(A little elf lives in the dark attic, bummelum!
He lives in the dark attic.
He stomps around and eats gruel, because that's healthy.
A little elf lives in the dark attic).

C's teacher played the drums and we all danced and sang.  It's fun to change the verb-- so the elves can dance or hop or spin instead.  C picked running (because hopping had already been taken). 

Here are a few (admittedly old) photos of her music class so you can get a feel for it too!
