Annabel loves to sing. She had such a blast in December because she would sing every single Christmas carol in the book. She loves to sing along to the radio or to the songs on her Hello Kitty keyboard. Her favorite time with her GG is when they sing together from a songbook. She will practice the songs from her preschool music class at home.
And now she has started singing conversations. It’s the funniest thing. I will ask her what she did in school and it turns into a song about playing with her friends. She will draw a picture of a hippo and then walk around the room singing about it. When she’s playing a board game with her brother, she will sing about every move she makes. Every time she gets strapped into her car seat, she starts to sing about the last book she read or where we are going. When we’re at Starbucks, she’ll sing about her love for chocolate milk and strawberry cake pops.
When we’re at home, these original songs will often be accompanied by a living room dance number. But sometimes she’s just sitting on the couch and will get inspired by our search for a DVD. She’s cute, that one.
