We've tried some of the fast-food playgrounds. One problem is they say you have to be three. Heh heh. Other than that, though, if there's other kids there, she gets shy and hangs back. Sometimes she feels like playing on them, but more often she doesn't. Lately, she's been raking for entertainment.
Yesterday I left work early to go pick her up in time to catch some daylight. Lucky for me she had her gloves, or it would have been over pretty quickly, with all the equipment being cold. It was over quickly anyway, as I miscalculated when I was hoisting her over a ladder and bonked her head on a climbing loop that I didn't see.
I agree about it being okay to listen to opera excerpts, not surprisingly. Mostly agree on the other, though there are one or two chamber pieces where I'll listen to out-of-context movements. The theme and variations from Schubert's "Trout" quintet are comfort food and always welcome (though now I have the whole thing available, and usually listen to it entire). There's a rondo movement in Rimsky-Korsakov's quintet for piano and strings that is a sheer delight, and I still listen to it without the rest sometimes.
When I sit down to the piano, my traveling sheet music (the black book and the white book) contain individual movements from stuff, and even a couple of pieces where I have a couple of pages out of something. To work on.
