Halloween and singing songs

Levi has been singing songs and it doesn’t do it justice to say simply that it is the sweetest thing I ever heard (besides Kay doing the same at that age). His voice is soft, so little, high while still being boyish. His words are trying to get it right but sometimes he messes up and says the wrong words or simply says something that rhymes and replaces the words but in the melody. His pronunciation is a bit off in spots… it’s so cute. Kaylee has told him a couple times it’s wrong, don’t sing it and I pipe in and defend him saying he won’t get it right unless he practices and that she should sing along to help him learn it. They sing together. He’ll start singing and get tripped up and she knows (more than anyone what he’s trying to sing) and then chimes in getting him to sing it a lot better…so super sweet!

 

Songs he likes:

“ABC’s”

“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”

“What do you do with a scurvy pirate?”

“Happy Birthday”

“I’ve got everything that I need” (not sure if this is a Kaylee-invented song or not)

10 little Monkeys swinging on the tree

 

I need to record and post a video of this super-cute singing. I tried to figure out how to record it this morning to no avail.

 

Update on Halloween:

Eric made a very scary (very tall) costume and the kids were too scared to go out trick-or-treating with him so he ended up leaving it at home by the door as a decoration. Tha trick-or-treaters liked it. I even think I saw a few not come to the door because they were too scared…anyways, it was Levi’s first time trick-or-treating and he did great. He didn’t even need to be carried! He said “trick-or treat” and then would take the candy saying “1” and look up at the person and reach in and say “2, please?” Eric said this made many a person melt a little bit for our little cutie. He was probably one of the youngest kids out there without being a carried infant. Last night was a nightmare in terms of sleep, I got (we got?) woken up at least 3 times by each kid and then at about 5ish I just gave up on getting any sleep and was up for the day. Thank goodness I have off from work tomorrow.
