And when Sophia was very young her Mother would sing to her at night. Well one time Cindy headed off on a trip with a friend. Sophia was about two and Cindy was so worried about what I would would do with a two year old little girl. Cindy wanted to record some night time songs for Sophia. So when it was night time I cold play them for her. The joke went like this:"I can sing to her at night that's not a problem." Said I,
"Oh," Cindy replied." You can sing twinkle twinkle little star?"
"of course I can!" I said in a stern confidant voice.
To witch I got "what about baby mine?"
Hm I thought what song is that? I can think of the tune................. What is that form? What are the words?
"Well" I replied "If I can't remember the words I will just hum it or I will sing her some of my songs."
To witch I got " HA HA Ha HA Ha "
So the day of truth came at last. Cindy was gone and Sophia was ready for bed. We had our bath. We even stayed up late (shh don't tell mom)
When I was tucking her in bed. I leaned down to give her a kiss good night when Sophia said.
"Sing me a song" gasp I had forgot about that. What was I going to do? I froze up I couldn't even remember the words to twinkle twinkle let alone baby mine.
So I did what any Father would do in this case. I told her I didn't know those songs. Daddy's know other songs.
"Like what?" She asked.
"Oh different ones is all. I'm not sure you would like them."
"try"
OK so I knelt down and started in on what ever came to mind.
And to this day these songs in this order are requested by Sophia. As "Daddy songs"
"Ring of Fire" by Johny Cash
"Oh Danny Boy" by who ever you want I have 7 different recording of it on my i-tunes.
This is the part that makes a tear well up in your eye.
When we are driving in the car and any of these songs come on they are Daddy songs and Sophia can sing all the words to them.
Hell Ya Proud Dad.
So some day this joke is going to come back and kick me in the but. But for now its just adorable.
Don't you think?
Daddy songs are the best.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet, I love it when my husband sings to Savannah. He has to make sure I am not listening though! LOL
ReplyDeleteOk that is too funny. When my oldest three were younger I used to sing to them every night, then I got pregnant with twins and was put on bedrest so no longer could I sing to them. So... dad picked up and changed the words to all my songs. I went to sing to them and they didnt want my songs anymore they wanted dads... I can so relate hehe.
