Mad About Music, Part 2

Hannah: Daddy?
Rob: Yes?
Hannah: Do you love me?
Rob: Of course I love you.
Hannah (trying to sing the Barney song that she just heard for the first time a few days ago to Daddy): You love me. You love me. We're best friends, friends should be. With a great big kiss. You love me.

Mad About Music

Hannah loves music. I know that all kids love music but she adores it. She has already mastered singing most of her favorite nursery rhymes ("Baa Baa Black Sheep", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and "Row Row Row Your Boat" are just a few of the songs that I hear her singing to herself at night) but she loves all music equally. Whenever a song comes on the TV or one of her toys starts singing, she immediately begins dancing and swaying to the music. Play it for her one or two more times and she is trying to sing along. This week, my dad introduced her to a MP3 player. She seemed a little uncertain as to what he was trying to put on her head at first but once she got a listen, she was hooked and kept asking "more please" over and over and over again. We finally had to turn it off and tell her it was broken just so they could leave! Here she is with the MP3 player at first:

And then once she realized that she liked it:

And no, I am not purchasing an MP3 player for my toddler, but it was very cute! Maybe she'll play an instrument some day like her mom and dad! :)

I Slept Like A Toddler

Whenever someone had a great night's sleep, they often use the phrase: "I slept like a baby". Anyone who has a baby knows that is the most ridiculous phrase in the English language. However, after last night's 2 storms, I'm thinking I'll start using the phrase "I slept like a toddler." Last night, I woke up at 5:30am to the loudest storm I've ever heard. Seriously, it sounded like someone had cymbals right next to my head that they were crashing over and over again just to see if they could make me jump high enough to fall out of bed. And where was Hannah? Was she scared crying for "mommy" or asking to sleep with us? No! She was passed out, sound asleep, as if the whole house wasn't shaking every time the thunder boomed. This very same storm decided to repeat itself 2 hours later at 7:30am where, once again, my toddler slept as if it was just another quiet Tuesday morning. Amazing! Hopefully tonight I will find myself sleeping like a toddler - I could use a good night's sleep after last night!
