I used to have a hard time understanding why parents (or educated adults for that matter) would speak to children in quirky voices. It drove me crazy! I always thought that if you just reasoned with them, they would understand and we could all get on with our lives without the need for all the pomp-and-circumstance. Boy did I have something coming… I am now that parent. The one that sings everything to their child. When did “this is a tree and that is a dog” become a song? I have a song for everything! We sing about our house, our toes, the laundry… and what’s more comical, is that Ale has become quite the dancer. He has managed to come up with a dance routine for all of the songs we sing to Grace. We have become entertainers and we are loving it. We are the mommy and daddy show and our little girl loves every bit of it. I can’t wait for the day when she’s singing and dancing right there with us. Until then, we’ll sing and dance our happy hearts off with the hope that we are not annoying those around us…
