We used to listen to this Sufjan album all the time when Iris was a few months old, but we haven’t listened to it as much lately. She still likes it, but she’s not so awed by trumpets.

She’s learned to identify harmonicas when we hear them, so when Dylan starts the solo in the middle of “Everything is Broken” she makes a little sign that she made up, her hand up by her jaw and ear. I think it helped that I played along with this song once. (It’s a really simple harmonica solo that I can duplicate.)
