More Song Stories

Well, if I seem to have a lot of little anecdotes about Brianna singing songs lately it's for two reasons, one being that Bree just really loves music and the second is because I've really tried to turn off the TV more often and turn on music and play instead. Well, having said that I think it's made Brianna more likely to "sing" her little songs and it just strikes me as funny every time. It's really hard to describe how she does it, sort of a slurry, under her breath thing most the time, except for key words at the end of phrases. Like, the other day we were driving somewhere and we had her tunes on in the car. She was in the backseat "singing" along to "There were 10 in the bed and the little one said, 'roll over, roll over,''' except when she sing it it's more like "ten..bed...roe ova, roe ova." Today she was singing the song that goes "Head and shoulders, head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes, eyes, ears, mouth and nose." (Okay, it's not going to win any awards for creativity in lyrics but we all know it don't we, don't we??) Well, anyways, that one she can sing almost every word pretty clearly and points to each part as she goes. Only, when she gets to that last part she says "eyes, ears, muffin nose!" Her favorite song this afternoon was the Teddy Bear song. You know the one, "Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around, teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground..." and so on. Well, when this song comes on she will grab her teddy bear and make him act out the lyrics in the song. And, it just so happens that this song came on a lot this afternoon. Mostly because, every time it ended she was demanding, "More teddy bear song!" I think we listened to it 20 or more times today, in a row!
