An Afternoon Serenade

Lately, our Tuesday 'Scope ritual has been a little random.  We've still been going, but not necessarily on Tuesdays.  Last week, Daddy had a lunch meeting on Tuesday, so Bailey and I decided to go another day, choosing Thursday instead.  While there, we spent some time in the toddler room with a couple younger children, wowing the two other adults in there with Bailey's active behavior, speaking skills, and most importantly, she was entertaining them with her singing abilities.  This may seem impossible to those whose ears do not find my singing all that satisfying, but Miss Bailey's talent is accompanied by her ability to write her own lyrics.  She has been doing this for quite a long time, and she randomly just sings, without any rhyme or reason.  She sings about laundry, she sings about dogs, she sings about singing, she sings about defiance.  She literally moves to her own tune.

Last Thursday, she sang a whole musical score.  For at least fifteen minutes, with an audience of three adults, and three other toddlers, Bailey sang about everything from handprints, babies, bumblebees, to slides and jumping, to things only she understood.  The bee song, which I was especially fond of, went something like this: Look, it's a bee, a bumblebee! Oh no, the bee, the bee is on the wall, the bee could sting you, but that's okay.  Oh no, don't eat the bee.  Eat, eat the bee.  Is the bee good?  I didn't catch all of the lyrics, but those I did catch. 

The kid has talent, yeah?
