Come on Down!

Eden does this cool thing where she occasionally sing-talks. Instead of just saying something to me, she'll sing it to me. Well usually, it's something that I've said and then she'll sing it back to me. And probably too often it is something that I've repeatedly said to her in a very "you-better-behave-young-lady" type of tone. Then she'll sing back to me what I've just said to her usually to the tune of Frere Jacques. (creepy yes?)
something a little like this:
"Sit on your bottom, sit on your bottom. Sit on your bottom. Sit on your bottom. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit...Sit on your bottom. Sit on your bottom."

And now that you have that in your head...

So it's surprising to me that she's only just now coming up with the idea of a microphone for all this singing.
Enter: Drumstick.
Drumstick seems to be THE long lost answer to all these sing-songy times. It's also the answer to no more drumming as she no longer sees fit for said drumstick to be used as anything other than a microphone. a win/win situation.


as you can see, she's VERY into the performance now!




And as terrible as this may seem, I just. can't. help. but be reminded of Bob Barker and his infamous microphone.




Yes, I know, I know. Comparing my daughter to Bob Barker is a little bit weird. creepy. whatever.
But at least I've not taught her to say, "Have your pets spayed and neutered!" yet. Now THAT would be creepy. :)
