...to drown out the sounds of dh singing soviet anthems VERY loudly in the next room with the baby on his lap and one fist in the air? Baby appears happy.

My ears are BLEEDING.

Well, if the baby likes it...

I thought it was rather rousing Grin.

Rousing? pmsl, don't say that to dh, he'll start to rant about evil soviets/ how it was like 1984 (?)/ modern china which will really add to my fun.

DS may be up late, but I'm guessing he will sleep through so hey ho...

chippin it's only a youtube link of the song

If only I could post a photo of the baby standing on a desk while his father stands to attention with his fist in the air. The expression on ds face when I checked in was great. Ds is squealing in appreciation.
