I was changing Richie's diaper and getting him dressed this morning, and he kept interrupting me with requests for his favorite songs. He would make fists and spread his fingers back and forth while saying, "Pop," which is his request for "Popcorn Popping." We sang that; he loves to do the actions. I don't understand most of the words, but the ones he knows he sings loud and proud, like "eyes." Then before I could get his shirt on, he would quickly move to his next favorite where he rolls his fists around saying, "Roll," which means "Do As I'm Doing." I start to sing it, so he jumps up, rolling his arms and jumping around in a circle, thrilled to be singing. He sounds like this, "Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, MEEE!!" He is so adorable. I just love being around him. He loves to sing. At Sacrament meeting every week, his favorite part is when we get to sing the hymns. He sings loudly during the whole song (and sometimes continues even after it's over). Luckily I think the people around us seem to enjoy it almost as much as he does. I love being a mother.
