Daisy sings

This is not exactly a new thing, but this afternoon I was noticing the extent of it. When Daisy hears a song she especially likes, she will fill in some of the words either before or after the singer. So for example, when she listens to the first song on her "They Might Be Giants" album, "No!": they say "we just ride giraffes" (she says "raffe" and points to her giraffe); "and wear bicycles for hats" (she says "hat" and points to her head); "To get to Fibber Island you just close your eyes" (she says "eyes" and points to her eyes); "start fibbing in your mind" (she says "mind"); "and see what you can find" (she says "find"). There's a song in which they repeat the word "mop" and Daisy will always start saying, "Mop, mop!" before that part comes up. I think it is pretty neat.

Okay, it is time to sing "Ragmopp" to Daisy.

I recall singing it to you. It was such an oddity that you accused me of making it up to fool you.

Oh, that's neat, Lee! Daisy LOVES this CD. Of all her CDs, it's the one she joins in with the most. She adores it and has since she was a pretty young baby. We also have They Might Be Giants' ABC CD, and she loves it also (it is very different, but also good).

Heck, that's the way I sing as a fully grown adult. Like, "hmm ha hmm, hmmm, hmmm, Here I come to save the daaaaaay!, hmmm ha hmm hmmm..."
