Have you ever done something and not realized it until someone else brought it to your attention? I don't know, maybe you crack your knuckles or use a verbal pause like 'you know' a lot when you talk and never noticed until someone mentioned it? Well, apparently I sing to Lily A LOT!
When we were on vacation Patti said to me one day, "My God, T. You have a song for everything. When Lily grows up she's going to think her life is a Broadway musical!" That got me thinking...and Patti is right! Not only do we have your basic 'We love Lily' songs we also have a song for:
- Saying good morning to the morning
- Saying good night to the night
- Changing a wet diaper
- Changing a poopy diaper
- When Lily is grouchy
- When Lily brushes her teeth
- When we wash Lily's hands
- And a whole bunch of others...but you get the picture!
Of course, we also have your basic Raffi, Laurie Berkner, etc. songs included in our repertoire... perhaps Lily's life really is a Broadway musical! I sure hope we win a Tony Award!
I thought I'd also mention that I can't carry a tune in a bucket. I'm guessing Lily's first full sentence will be, "Please Mom, stop singing!"
Here are a few shots from Playground the Musical opening soon!

OMG, TJ, must be a family thing! My granddaughter, Cassidy, keeps asking me to stop singing. So, it took only four and one-half years for Cassidy to get sick of "Cassidy's Capers", let's see how long it takes Lily to get sick of HER musical!

Who likes to sing
I really mean,
she likes to sing.
She'll sing all day,
in every way - "MomMom will you PLEASE stop singing?!"
It must be in our DNA. From singing and dancing with Rebecca
"Wild Thing" to Emma being taught Tim
McGraw's Last Dollar, this lady loves to sing and dance. Pass it on, it's a great stress buster.

I believe you have already won the Tony Award!
Love, Aunt Teresa
