Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes....

Saturday night Ewoyn walked over the where I was sitting and proceeded to sing the song Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes, by herself, WITH hand movements. The movements were a little scattered, but it was still amazing! The song is one of the few "traditional" kinds songs she knows. When we were in Shriners, and she had dressing changes, they had a woman who would come in and play guitar to try to calm/distract Ewoyn. It worked okay, considering what kind of pain she was in. But this song became a staple, and one we sang a lot while in the hospital. It was almost sure to bring a smile to her face if, while she was sitting on dad's lap, I would sing the song and do the movements...which is sad to admit, quite a workout if you do the song all the way through a couple times.

In typical Eowyn fashion, she would not perform the song for the video camera...Whenever a camera comes out, video or still, she proclaims "camera", then "baby", and wants you to show her on the LCD screen all the pictures of that very cute baby that are surely on it. Other then an occasional music video with dad, seeing herself on an LCD screen, or on a laptop screen, is her only "screen time", so "Baby Ewoyn" has become her favorite show. We are hoping to get this little act on video, and I'll certainly post here if I do.
