Mom Talk

Isn’t it amazing that kids can make a song out of absolutely anything?  My little one is the “queen of sing” in our house.  You name it, she will sing about it.  I hear her all the time, singing to her dolls or about her toys.  When she can’t think of words, she uses silly sounds to make a tune.  I think there’s a lesson in there somewhere for all of us.

If we would try harder to see the “song” in every situation, we’d be much happier people.  When’s the last time you sang, “I’m doing the dishes, la la la la la!”.  If you’re like me. . .never.  I’m not saying I’m going to start bursting into song every few minutes but I think humming now and then might actually boost my mood.  I can say that when I’m feeling down or annoyed or tired and I overhear her composing a new little ditty in the next room, it definitely makes me smile.
