Lexi singing "What a Wonderful World"

This is the song she sang with her class at their end-of-the-school-year spring concert.

Spring concert at Lexi's school

 

This is Lexi's class (pre-K3&4) with the other pre-K3&4 classes at the school singing their selection at last Wednesday's spring concert. In case you can't tell, it's "What a Wonderful World."

Singing some new verses to "The Wheels on the Bus"

We did not know these new verses to this song. Did you?

Doing the "Hokey Pokey"

She doesn't know all the words, but she makes up for it in enthusiasm, wouldn't you say?

Singing "Jesus Loves Me"

We're not quite sure how or where Lexi learned this song. She has certainly not heard it much, if at all, at church, since she's not in Sunday school enough. She must have learned it at daycare, although her daycare is not at a church nor is it officially Christian.

Learning her own songs

For grace before meals at home, the three of us hold hands, and sometimes Sarah and I will sing (something like "Be Present at Our Table"). Because Lexi doesn't know the words to table prayers or can't sing a standard grace, the holding of hands is something she can do and is her way of participating.

Since I picked her up from daycare after work today, Lexi has been in a good mood. She must be feeling better from her cold and ear infections and/or is starting to enjoy daycare.

Tonight in the middle of dinner, Lexi extended her hands and said, "Hands." So we all held hands again in a circle. Then she started singing a short song - all by herself (of course it was words that we didn't understand). When it was over, she said, "Yay!" and clapped a little. Then I commanded her as she often commands us: "Again."

So we joined hands again, and she repeated her song, complete with the "Yay!" at the end. She must have learned her song at daycare today. Yay!

Singing herself to sleep

Don't pay any attention to the picture (you can't see anything) but just listen to Lexi singing herself to sleep.

Look! I can read now!

OK, maybe my reading skills still involve quite a bit of singing too.
