Sing a Song

I remember Eowyn used to make a repeticious "Eh" noises (such as "Eh Eh Eh Eh") when she was a baby. If she did 6 "Eh"s in a row I would break into the rest of Jingle bells in my own "Eh"s. Then one day I hummed the first part and she finished it. I was very excited. Today at parent and child swim lessons, when we sang "The Wheels on the Bus" and "Hokey-Pokey" she sang every word very loud. She has been singing along to parts of songs lately. (Like "Amazing Grace" that I sing at every bed time.) Today it was full songs and it was a bunch of them. I am a big fan of "Sing a Longs" so I'm thrilled with this new development.

The other very cool thing that happened today was in the car on the way. We were listening to the song "Heaven's Got A Baby" (the Supertones version, though I like the original Sarah Masen one better.) When the lyrics got to "Down in Bethlehem" Eowyn started making statements.
"Jesus was born in Bethlehem"
"Marry and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem"
"They had Jesus in a Manger"
"He was in a stable"
"Shepherds Came"
"there were some sheep there too"
(I asked who told the shepherds)
"The Angel Gabriel".
Then she went back to drinking her bottle.... she is so cool.

She was once again excited about doing the advent candel tonight. We were about 20 minets away from doing it and she sat at the table and said "I will waite for the candel." I had to convice her (not dificult but still) to color for a little while until we were ready.
She was very excited when we were done to tell us about Abraham going to Isrial so Jesus could come later!

This album has Sarah Masen:

This is the one with the Supertones:
