And We Have Ourselves a Singer!

D has started singing! And it is one of the most precious things in the world!

I've sung songs with him for a very long time, but he never showed much interest in wanting to sing them. He would do some of the actions with "If You're Happy and You Know it" or "Itsy bitsy spider," but would rarely even utter any of the words.

Since Christmas he has been constantly asking me to sing Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the "shiney" nose. Last week when I wouldn't sing them for him at lunch, he started singing "frosty the snowman was a jolly sew... bummpity bump bump bummptiy bump bump..." I was totally surprised when he started in with the bummpity part :) and so impressed that he remembered that part.

Today when I told him to drink his juice he started singing "drink your juice, drink your juice."

Last night out of nowhere he started singing "with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too" and he was so serious about it! The funny thing is that we really don't watch Barney all that often. We have a couple of VHS tapes leftover from his big sister, and he will only ask to watch them every couple of weeks or so. I couldn't believe how many of the words he knew! It was the sweetest thing!!

Of course my favorite song that he sings, I have no clue where it came from... "I want to go to Doo Doo." The first time he sang that one at the dinner table I just about lost it. Tears were streaming down my face and I was trying so hard not to laugh. What are you going to think when your son starts singing about doo doo? But of course we don't call it that, so I should have known it was not #2 he was referring to. Since then he has continued to sing that song and when we are in the car he will ask to go to Doo Doo. I am seriously wracking my brain trying to figure out where he got that from and what could sound similar? It has to be from one of the cartoons he watches, but which one??
