Sean’s learning to sing. He’s following Evan’s example. But instead of singing words, he sings notes, in loud Ah’s. He runs from one side of the room to the other shouting “ah!” When he is done, he starts to clap, encouraging us to clap with him. Just like Evan.
This morning Sean waved goodbye to his Daddy, saying his usual ‘bye with a somewhat Southern accent. (Yeah, don’t know where he got that.) But today he said, “ ‘bye, Dad, ‘bye” as he waved the cute little fist wave. Shocked, I smiled at my husband pointing at Sean.
As we rolled into the Target parking lot, I realized it was the Christmas season as there were double the amount of cars that are usually there at that time on a weekday morning. Never a true shopper, I began to sing, “Tis the season to be shopping, falalala lalalala.” From the back seat, Sean piped out, “falalalala lalalala.”

At least yours didn’t sing “I kissed a girl and I liked it” in your parents very Christian cafe where all the employees and people eating could hear. My dad was standing there and I thought he would fall over dead, cuz you know mine are GIRLS!!
That is funny though how kids pick up things like that! I need to email you…been busy trying to catch up housework since I was sick.

I use to embrass my mother by singing Sir Psycho Sexy by the Chili Peppers. (google it). She bought me the cassette and she didn’t know what the songs were about (they were too fast) until I started sing it in public at 6 years old. That cassette disappeared soon after that. I’ve got it on CD now, so there!

just wait another half a year and he will talk just as much as Evan and your ears will fall off. =)
It is sooo cute when they first start talking!!

C-That’s hilarious. Do you just shrug and say they must be turning the radio on at school?
pinnythewu: Ah, how cute were you. Evan perfers country, and Sean perfers good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll, but my husband question my taste when Tool came on the shuffle of my iPod. Ooops!
holeycheese: I know! I think it’s karma; I’m sure I deserve it.
