For those of you who watched "Friends", you know that Phoebe is definitely an original when it comes to her songwriting ability. That show is my all-time favorite, and Phoebe is my favorite character.
Well, Mimi has recently earned the nickname around our house of "Baby Phoebe". This is because she LOVES to sing. And she has an uncanny ability to take the tune of a well-known song/nursery rhyme and re-write the lyrics into a song that wonderfully describes her 3-year-old life. It is hard for me to give you an accurate representation without you actually seeing it in person, but it is hilarious.
Her songs are all very stream-of-consiousness. She is a hoot, or as she would say, "Kalarious" (how she thinks you pronounce hilarious). At the end of her first day of school, her teacher asked me if we listen to a lot of Johnny Cash at home. When I told her "not really" and asked why, she told me a story. When she was describing to their class how they all will have "circle-up"time and sit in a circle in the mornings, Mimi sat down in the circle and started singing "Let's go down, down, down, into our burnin' ring of fire ..."
Our daughter. She actually woke us up crying at 3 a.m. not too long ago. When Chuck asked her what was wrong, she said in between sobs, "My room isn't pink enough!"
