Been awhile

So its been a bit since I've blogged, oops. I think this shall mostly be an Anna brag blog. So beware, lol.

Have I ever mentioned what a little songbird my child is. Seriously, she knows multitudes of songs by heart. I've never known a kid so young to know so many songs. Heck, I think she might know more songs by heart than I do. Its really really cute. Let me try to think of a quick list.

Twinkle Twinkle
Jesus Loves Me
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Where is Thumbkin?
Down by the station
Row Row your boat
Wheels on the Bus
Happy and You Know It
Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes
3 Blind mice
Baa Baa Black Sheep
How much is that doggy in the window?
Old Macdonald
Pop goes the Weasel
Jingles Bells
The Big Comfy Couch Song
Bob the Builder Song
Rescue Pack song
Hush little baby
Happy Birthday
The Alphabet Song
The Barney Song
Going to the zoo
Pussy cat Pussy cat
Do lord (chorus line)
Meet you in the morning (Chorus line)
Elmo's World
Stop and Go
Open the Eyes of my heart Lord
Dig it (chorus)
Dig Deep (chorus)
Archaeology
The WHOLE song of Pinch Me (Bare Naked Ladies)
First verse of Freshmen by the Verve
First Verse of Hang by Matchbox 20
So Happy Together
Chorus of Ridin' Dirty
Chorus of Over my Head
Chorus of Had a Bad day


Yeah, and I think there are more that she at least knows the chorus of. Its crazy, I tell you. If she doesn't end up with some serious music talent I will forever be shocked. She can hum the music to the songs. She can recognize all the songs if they are hummed to her. She can recognize the songs from the first several notes of music. She'll make up new songs to the music of other songs. She can recognize if one songs sounds is sung to the beat of another song. And she can dance to the beat of them all. Not just crazy white girl flapping around but cute little rhythmic dancing. She'll even imitate dancing she sees kids doing on tv, pretty well, I might add. I have wanted musical talent my whole life. I'm a huge music person. This makes a mommy proud, I tell ya!

So, the really cute part? We sing her songs every night. She asks for more and more songs lately. The day before yesterday, she started singing along with me. I typically sing her "YOu are my sunshine" every night. That night, she sang it with me. I cried. Literally. Its one of the sweetest, most precious things to hear her sweet little voice singing back to me, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine". Seriously, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. It doesn't get much sweeter than this. She's, without a doubt, one of the best things in the world.
