Delanie sings her baby a lullabye!

Part of Delanie's nightly bedtime routine is that her parents sing a few songs. Now, we are definitely not the best singers (my grandmother will be the first to tell you I can't carry a tune), and our repertoire of appropriate songs is limited. Delanie typically hears three songs: "Baby Beluga," "Last train to Clarksville" and "Amazing Grace." I have long thought that the singing went unnoticed, until Delanie started saying, "daddy sing train" when I tried to put her to bed. And, I do not know the lyrics to any of the Monkees songs! But, I was amazed that she had been picking up on the lyrics!

So, fast-forward to today, when she starts singing these lullabyes to her baby! I was amazed! please, no cracks on how she aquired her mother's singing voice! :)

Part 2



This is later in the video clip, when we asked her to sing her alphabet to her baby. If you are singing the song with her, she inserts about a dozen letters into the song, based on the tune and the pattern. She has never sang the song alone, though. This time, Dave got her to the letter "L" through sign language - amazingly, Delanie knows the sign for every letter in the alphabet!! She is doing better than me!
