O Say Can You Sing

Brooks has become quite the entertainer lately. By no means could he audition for America's Got Talent, but he certainly likes to sing AND in tune. I typically catch his performances while we are driving in the car because the car is the next best place to belt out a few songs other than the shower. We started out with the ABC's several weeks ago and his selection of songs has grown significantly.

His favorite song is "Goodbye" from the New Friends episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. Brooks is known to bust out singing Goodbye at any time of the day. In fact, the couple covering church nursery last week said he started singing it when parents picked up their kids and he was the last one left. Ha, ha.

Most recently, he started singing Jesus Love Me. He started singing it one day in the car. I couldn't quite make out the words, but figured he probably learned it at school. Then came the chorus. Yeeeethssss, is all I could I understand, but it was enough for me to figure out the song. I could also clearly understand the word bible even though it came out like Bye-bull with a southern twang.

He can also sing Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald, The Wheels on the Bus and Itsy Bitsy Spider, although I could never try to phenetically spell the titles the way Brooks actually says it.

I really enjoy listening to him sing because over time the songs do become clearer. Since he started singing the ABC's, he can now say almost every letter including w and x.
