Elise's Song

[Note: I am going to attempt to document more of life's 'little moments' so that I can have a better record than Facebook status updates...although, I really think we should be able to get a year's worth of them or something...more on that in another post :)]

Sleeping Elise

Elise is currently into having bedtime 'songs' instead of bedtime stories. Which is fine with me. I love stories...but, I really, REALLY love songs :).

Often, her requests come in the form of princesses. For example, she may ask for 'Snow White' (Someday my prince will come) or Sleeping Beauty (Once upon a Dream) or Jasmine (A whole new world). This has become a fun ritual in the past two weeks, or so.

Tonight, Elise made a couple of requests (Belle and Sleeping Beauty and then 'We wish you a Merry Christmas'...um...okay...) and then she said "Now, MY turn". She sang...

"I love my heart! I love my stars! I love my world! I love my Mommy! I love my heart! I love my stars!

I love my Mommy! I love my pink! I love my Mommy!

I love my heart! I love my song!"

This went on for a couple of verses and then she delightedly said

"You like it, Mom?"

Why, yes, Elise. I most definitely LUB it!

I took these pix about a week ago before waking her up in the morning...
