Play & Sing

Amanda likes anything with buttons, like the phone or the remote control.  She knows what they’re for, too, which is even cuter.  She’ll put the phone to her ear and babble, or point the remote at the TV.  We have an old remote control (that doesn’t work) that we let her play with, plus a Sesame Street toy version that makes beeping noises.  Our cordless phone conked out recently, so that’s also been converted into a toy, just like our old digital camera that died.  She loves it when she feels like she’s playing with the real thing.

 

Eva has become our little songbird, and sings constantly wherever she goes.  Her song list varies, but it’s mostly the “Veggie Tales” theme song, “The Wheels On The Bus”, “Jesus Loves The Little Children”, “If You’re Happy And You Know It”, “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”, “Elmo’s World”, and “Jesus Loves Me”.    She’ll belt out in the car, in the grocery cart, at the dinner table, out in public, wherever and whenever she feels like it.  Sometimes she plays along on her toy guitar or piano.   Once when we were singing worship songs at a small group picnic, there was a lull in the singing and Eva decided to pipe in with “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”.  She didn’t know it was a worship time, she just knew we were singing, and wanted to join in.  It was really cute!
