Song and Dance

At any given moment during her play, it is likely that BB will burst forth into improvised song. I love it that my little girl seems to live in her own musical! I keep trying to get it on video, and I finally managed to record a little bit.

She's playing with one of our felt board sets, the one with zoo animals. And, as usual, BJ is reading in the background, totally unconcerned. I missed the first part of the song, which was a listing of how each of the animals said "I love you" to her and her brother, complete with the animal's little dance. She's still doing a little of this at the beginning, but then it quickly changes to how the animals are sad. No worries, though, because very soon everybody is doing a dance together! "Everybody began to do a dance!" And then everybody comes to dinner and lays down to sleep. "Bum-bum!" She ends most of her songs, as well as some of the verses within them, with this little vocalization. Makes me smile every time.
