Mother's Day

This will be my third Mother's Day. Hopefully it won't take us 10 shots to get a good picture this year.

We didn't even take pictures. Oh well.

People always tell me how vocal my 2 year old is. Tellers at the bank, checkers at Target, Costco and the grocery store, "Wow. She has such a big vocabulary!" I smile of course and politely say "yes she does" or "Ya, we have a talker" all while thinking, "You don't know the half of it!"

Not only does she TALK a lot, but she sings too. Besides the cute little Boo-esk songs (Monster's Inc reference) that she just makes up, she probably knows a good 20-30 songs and can sing them for you at any moment. She knows the basics like twinkle twinkle, the ABC's, and Jesus Loves Me, etc. She also knows some lesser known diddys like, Where are you Christmas? from the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas and "make a mountain, make a move" and "boom Boom Clap" (The Climb and the Hoedown Throwdown from the Hannah Montana Movie). She is also know to sing "Fireflies" by Owl City, "Desert Song" by Hillsong, "I Got a Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas, "We Worship You" by Jacob"s Well, "21 Guns" By Green Day, "Reign In Us" by Starfield and many, MANY more. As you can see we have a well rounded child, musically speaking at least.

The last month or so Grace would randomly shout out "Yes Sir!" in the car. It took me a few times to figure out what she was singing. I figured it out. "I may never march in the infantry, ride in the calvary, shoot the artillery, fly over the enemy but I'm in the Lord's army. Yes Sir!" Today she also stared singing "Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Joy joy joy, down in my heart to staaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy. Happy so happy down in my heart." (Gracie Bartlow version)

I wonder what she'll start singing next month...
