Musical Monday

Every night, before we put our children to bed, Rob and I sing to each one of them. I don't know why, but each of them have sort of adopted their own song. Here they are...

The very first night Rob and I brought Avonlea home from the hospital, I remember pacing in the kitchen, holding her and trying to get her to stop crying. I remember that this song came to my mind. I started singing it to her and she immediately stopped crying. Ever since, this has been her song. It fits her too. She's definately my "sunshine girl", joyful and full of life.



Lincoln is our sweet boy with never ending energy and wit. He's our charmer. He's big for his age and can stir trouble at times. He adores the movie Dumbo and he requests this song each night before he goes to bed. At the part where the singer says "You're not much, goodness knows", I substitute in "You're so sweet, goodness knows", because he is so sweet!


Since Norah has been born, so many people comment on what a beautiful baby she is. Some have said that she looks like a little, porcelain doll with her fair skin and dark hair. Almost Snow White-like. Well, she's adopted the song Adelvice from The Sound of Music. An Adelvice is a beautiful, white flower and it reminds me of Norah.
