Today I went to lunch with Holly, Sophie, and Holly's mom, Sue. Sophie had a song in her head. You probably all know it:I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart
(Where?)
Down in my heart!(Where?)
Down in my heart!I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart
(Where?)
Down in my heart to stay!!Well, it took a bit to figure out that the "joy joy joy joy down stay...." coming from the back seat was actually a song, but once we did figure it out, Sophie thought it was great fun for us all to sing together. Which we did.
When we were enjoying our Endless Soup & Salad at Olive Garden, Sophie would break out in her hearty rendition of the joyous song. "JOY JOY JOY JOY DOWN STAY......" Some things you just can't sing quietly, you know?
Well, on our drive home, we were all singing. We came to the end of the song, and Sophie said to Holly, "Do it!" (As in, start singing again, Mom!)
Holly replied, "You do it!"
This went on four or five times, until finally Sophie said, "No, YiYi do it!!" (That's me, by the way.)
It was so funny! It might have been the first time she put 4 words together in a sentence, too! She's potty training and starting to look more and more like a little girl and not the baby I've known for two years. I'm so blessed to have her (and Holly!) in my life!
She is a cutie pie! I usually have one of two reactions when my kids start singing hymns in the backseat: I'll either start giggling because it just makes my heart so happy, or I'll get all choked up because it just makes my heart so happy. One of their favorites is "Blessed Assurance," and they love "Are You Washed in the Blood." David will ask, "Mommy, can you pay Bud of de Wam and we can sing?"
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more awesome than hearing little bitty kids sing about Jesus.
One of my favorite kiddo songs. You gotta do the movements. Way to go Sophie for also involving Auntie Yiyi!
ReplyDeleteSing on Soph!
