Singing, Part 2

Last night as we all sat down to dinner (late, in the case of Rachel, who was on Part 3 of her meal; relatively early for us, as it was 8 p.m.), Rachel said something like, "moe song?" So she grasped each of our hands and we all clasped our hands in a circle and sang, "She'll be comin' round the mountain." She loved it and wanted more!

We really need to keep the songbook at the dinner table rather than in her bedroom, where I used to sing from it for hours when she was only a few months old.

Then she took Drew's hand and said, "Daddy books!" which means she wants Drew to put her to sleep after reading. "Daddy read!" she said when they got to her room.

This morning as soon as she woke up she said, "Daddy read!" again. She pulled out a favorite of both of ours -- "Corduroy," about a beaten-up but much loved teddy bear. They read a bit before he took her in to daycare.
