HEARTSONG

Since K started the subject of listening to our kids....I'll continue it. :)

I wish you had all been in the car with us on the way home from my in-laws tonight.  We were listening to a praise CD...specifically the song "I Will Rise".  That is one of Little T's favorite songs.  He's the one who requests it in the car EVERY day on the way to school.  I think because he has a captive audience (Me) and no one else in the car to compete with him.  He really belts that song out. Actually, when we are ALL in the car together, they all three sing like little angels in a choir.  :)

However, tonight as we on our way home, I was in the front passenger seat, right in front of Big T.  He was singing louder than I've ever heard him sing.  He's usually pretty shy about singing...unless it's his iPod songs.   :)    But tonight, while 'I Will Rise' was on again, he sang every word, in his ten year old boy voice...which is a little hoarse from the cold he has right now.....and while I usually sing that song along with them, tonight I chose to just sit and listen.  And it was well worth sitting quietly and still for a bit...and just listening.  :)

When we got home, he jokingly said "I sing pretty good, huh?"   I said, "Actually....YES...you do.  I was just fixing to tell you that."  <<Big Hug>>

Dance like nobody's watching......Sing like nobody's listening.....  :)
