Living up to her name

Aria loves singing. really loves singing. A while ago she realized that the Alphabet Song, Twinkle Little Star, and Baa Baa Black Sheep are the same tune, and started to mix and match them.

"A, B, C, D, little star, yes sir, yes sir, three bags full..."

She'll wake up and start singing Itsy Bitsy Spider, or Mary had a Little Lamb, You are my Sunshine, Rock-a-bye Baby, The Bear went over the Mountain, Row your Boat, Song of the South (the zippity-do-da part), or some other song. Sometimes, she'll sing a song we didn't even know she knew! The other day, I was getting ready for work, and on the monitor I heard Aria stirring. I always wait until she calls "Daaaaaaddy", because I've found she can get cranky if I go in before then. Well she starts singing Old MacDonald.

"Old MacDonald had farm...
yo yo yo...
on that farm, had a sheep...
yo yo yo...
on that farm, had a dog...

"and BINGO was his name-o
B-I-N-G-O
and BINGO was his name-o"

I was hysterical as I entered the room, and Aria was all smiles - I think she realized what she did.

That's so cute! Mine loves to sing also, and has mixed up the songs before, but I don't think she's ever done it on purpose.

I love it when kids sing. :-)
