Hannah cuddling up against me while I sing "It's a Small World" to her - priceless moment!
Hannah and I had the evening to ourselves tonight because Daddy took Ethan and Abby to the Monster Truck Jam.
I loved it! I really enjoy the time that we have to ourselves, without distractions, because they seem so few and far between these days.
When she started getting tired (around 10 pm because she had a late nap when the nurse was here), I put her in her favorite snuggle position. She loves to put her one arm around my back and have me put my arm around her and bring her in snuggle tight. This gives us the perfect position for her to look at me and for me to be able to talk and sing to her.
Yes, I said “sing to her.” There is no way in heck I have the talent for American Idol, but Hannah thinks my singing is one of her favorite things. When I sing her certain songs, her face just lights up! We go from nursery songs like “Twinkle, twinkle” and “Wheels on the Bus” to Glee’s version of “Blackbird” and “Fireworks.”
The way she lights up makes me light up even more!
Tonight, I started singing “It’s a Small World” to get her ready for Disney World. She LOVED it! I’ve started putting together a music collection to burn onto a CD with Disney songs that we can start using now in hopes that she will recognize some of the songs when we are there. She won’t know them word for word, but if it is something that she has heard enough to recognize, then I think it may give her more enjoyment.
Beautiful picture. Hannah has such a lovely smile.
Mail me that CD so I can learn the words of some of these songs. Ha! I do the same thing and I can’t sing either. Addi and Cassi love Patty Cake and Humpty Dumpty!
