Sing, Sing a Song

I have a love of music. It has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. There is just nothing like the feeling of belting out a song either in the shower or in front of people. Music and singing is joy to me.

Music was a bigger part of my life when I was younger. I was very involved in choir and preforming solos. Before kids came around both Jeff and I sang with our church choir. I loved being able to share my gift this way. I felt like I was helping others worship and in turn, I would get more out of the service.

But kids came and my choir career has temporally been put on hold. But that doesn't mean that I have stopped singing.

No, it means that I sing more than ever. I give private shows for the four little people that I am around most.

It is fun to be silly and make up a song to go with it.
Cleaning up toys goes faster when there is a song to get you though.
The car ride is more enjoyable when you can sing your way there.

For the most part, the kids will giggle at my silly songs or even join in in my rendition of 'Wheels on the Bus' when we are in the car. But Claire, well she has her own ideas.

I know that Claire loves to sing. I am told by her day care teachers that at many times during her day at 'school' she can be found singing. But when it comes to singing with me.... not so much.



I guess there always has to be one critic, right.
