Singing songs

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I’m terrible with song lyrics.  I routinely get them wrong but continue to sing along, blissfully unaware.  Recently, when I was singing 'You Are My Sunshine' to Elise before bed, Ashton came in and said, 'Hey, No Mommy…that’s my song.'  Ooops!   I’ve been outed!  The poor child doesn’t know that that is one of the few songs that I know the words too.

I do have little ‘songs’ that I sing to Ashton and Elise though…more like refrains that I repeat.  Elise’s song as a baby was, ‘Hey there pretty lady, you’re my pretty little baby, hey, hey.’  Her song has now morphed into, ‘Beauty Girl, Rock my World, You’re so Bea-u-ti-ful’.  Ashton’s song as a babe was (and still is) ‘Hey now, little Tuka, little Tuka Taylor, you're my little sweet boy and you love trucks and trains'.

I know…I won’t be quitting my day job as a song writer – or singer for that matter. 😊
