My girl loves to sing. A large portion of her language development has revolved around singing and music. She would manipulate her earliest sounds by tapping her hand against her lips or bouncing her whole body up and down as she sang. Her first song was “If you are happy and you know it”, which was only recognizable by a bit of tune and fervent clapping. “Skip to my Lou” was next and continues to be a favorite. Music class brought us Frere Jacques and howling. Her Nana taught her “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” over skype. “Ee-i-ee-i-oo” is a curse word sung out in frustration and anger. “Rock a bye baby”, is yelled with glee accompanied by a hug, when she is in the mood for snuggling. There are many other songs that she sings as she moves about her day. I wish that she continues to find music in her life, always.
