This is cuteness

...we can hear Daisy on her baby monitor singing a lullabye to herself to try to help herself get to sleep: "Go to sleep now and rest, may your slumbers be blessed." She can actually sort of carry a tune now. ...Now she's humming the tune of the lullabye to herself with no words.

Other cute lines of the day: "I'm so embarrassed!" (after crying a little bit). Actually, this was a sweet story in itself-- Mark was joking around and pretended something she did hurt him (knocking a book against him), and he did a playful fake cry. Poor Daisy said, "Don't cry, Dada," and then she burst into tears. She is sensitive!

The last one needs a little explanation... and maybe it won't seem cute, although I think it is. We have a song from music class that goes, "Who's that (doing some action)? Daisy's (doing the action)." So, for example, our teacher, Seth, will ask Daisy what she likes to do at home, and she says, "Read a book," so he'll make it into, "Who's that reading a book? Daisy's reading a book" (put to a little tune). Anyway, he suggested we incorporate this song at home, so sometimes I use it, especially when I am trying to distract Daisy--like when I have to comb tangles out of her hair.

So today, she decided she wanted some personal space--which she does more frequently now--and so after a little while of playing and singing together, she suggested, "How about 'Who's that having no Mama?'" In other words, I had to sing, "Who's that having no Mama? Daisy is having no Mama." She was trying to tell me to get out of her face!!!

I thought it was funny.
