Singing her ABC's

Every morning on the drive to daycare, Julia and I sing (well, mostly I sing, Julia just chimes in every now and then). I mostly sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Wheels On The Bus, and Old MacDonald (among others). But in the last couple of weeks, I have been adding the ABC song to the list. Julia must also here that song at daycare, because she picked it up REALLY fast! I am actually amazed on how well she can do it. I try to let her take the lead, so SHE can say the letters before I do. It goes something like this:

Julia sings (with me singing softly and about 1/2 beat behind her) - A-B-C-D-E-F-G, then she gets stuck, so I sing - H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P, then she pipes back in singing - Q-R-S-T-U-V, then I have to finish it out. We both cheer when we finish!!!

I think with a couple more week's practice she will have it mostly down! She is becoming such a BIG girl!
