Adelaide is quite the singer these days. If she's not telling us stories or yammering on about who knows what, she is singing. She'll frequently sing nonstop her entire arsenal of songs-- twinkle, twinkle; baa baa black sheep; jesus loves me; abc's; rockabye baby, father abraham, if you're happy and you know it; etc. etc. Most of her songs are typical toddler songs, but not all. Signing Time has had a big impact on her singing with songs like "Rainbow Salad" and "In the Water." A friend was babysitting for us a few weeks ago and thought Adelaide was crazy when she was sitting in her crib saying "rainbow salad" over and over.Another thing that has influenced Adelaide's singing is our music. Occasionally she'll hear a song she likes from our collection. Right now a current favorite band of hers in Arcade Fire. The song "Neon Bible" is heard around our house often. She even requests it alot when we're in the car.
A new favorite song that made it to the mix is Baby Beluga. Adelaide has become quite interested in animals that live in the water. So we checked out books about ocean creatures from Family Connections last week. The book Baby Beluga was an instant favorite. Since it's by Raffi, I figured there must be a song that went with it. Sure enough, we went to the library the following day and found the CD. By the end of the day Adelaide had the song memorized and Rocky and I have had the song in our heads ever since. We're going on a week now!

She is a cutie! I am glad she is enjoying and learning from Signing Time.
It's a small strange random world, I bet you didn't know that Win and Will Butler from Arcade Fire are my second cousins. Go figure. :)
Keep signing~

So I feel like a celebrity now that Rachel Coleman has commented on my blog! So nice to hear from you. And no, I did not know you were related to folks in Arcade Fire. That's awesome. Talent runs in the family I guess. Hope you make it back to TV soon. You are missed.
