Name That Tune

Every night after prayers, I (or Brian) rock Emily and sing to her. Tonight, as soon as the prayer was over, she looked at me and said, " Tinkle Tinkle." It took me a minute to realize that she wanted me to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to her. When I finally figured it out, she was happy, and laid her head on my shoulder while I sang it to her. When I was done, I asked her what she wanted me to sing next. She said, "Beam!" This one was harder. But after thinking long and hard (ok not that long) I said, "Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam?" The answer was a definite yes. So I sang that one, and asked for one more. "I Am!" Ok... I was able to figure it out, as we sing the same songs (basically) every night. "I Am" is I Am a Child of God. When that one was done, she said, "I Am again!" So we sang it again. I love how her words are developing, and she knows her own mind. She is definitely her own person, growing and getting smarter and smarter. This is one of my favorite times of the day. No matter how cranky she has been during the day, bedtime is always sweet.
