Anna woke up early the past couple of days, but this morning there was silence and then suddenly she belted out, "What's new pussycat, wo-wo-wooooah!" Fifteen minutes later she was on to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (the extended version with five verses that she has memorized but I have not (I've only memorized four verses)). I love that she wakes up singing (although sometimes she wakes up reciting books or nursery rhymes).
Also, the other night when Craig was running her bathwater, the two of them were singing a duet of John Lithgow's Singing in the Bathtub. It was so cute but I enjoyed it instead of running to get the video camera. Next time I'll run to get the camera (although Craig may not let me post that on the blog, we'll at least have it for our personal files!).
For reference, here are the extended lyrics (Nana & Grandma might want to learn this to impress Anna—she finds this song particularly soothing):
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
There's more than one verse to Twinkle Little Star??? Where have I been?
Stef, I've posted the rest of the song for you; it was in one of Anna's nursery rhymes books...
Uh Oh! Memorization is not my strong suit! How wonderful that Anna can memorize so well at her age! She can teach me.
I had no clue Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star had more versus! Wow!
