Favorite Songs

It is so funny how even at such a young age, each of our girls has had her own taste in music. They have all been particularly responsive to one certain song:

Allia: "When the Saints Go Marching In"
She really did not like the car seat as a baby, and so I must have sang every song I know to her while driving places. Mysteriously, this is the one that would stop her crying...but you had to keep singing it or she would cry. So Austin and I became very skilled at singing it in rounds, making up harmonies, etc. to keep it going! :-)

Mariana: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
She has always liked this one and still does. She loves story time at the library and all the different activities, but if you ask her what her favorite part is...it's not the books, bells or bubbles. It is singing this song and doing the hand motions that go with it!

Gloria: "You are My Sunshine"
She loves it! She can hardly keep from smiling when I sing it, even if she is being fussy. And it also happens to be part of our story time repertoire, so this really helps her stay happy at the library!
