09/15/2009 - Old McDonald

One song that Heather has sung from the first time we met her was Old McDonald had a Farm, which of course she was singing in Mandarin. Karen and I have responded to her cries of EIEIO with the English words to this song and today while taking a drive to our nearest Target she broke out in song IN ENGLISH!!!! She is such a clever little girl and is now singing her ABC's as well with a few misteps here and there but who can critize someone who only a few short weeks ago had minimal English exposure.

  2. Singing a song in English already?! I agree; our little ones are beyond amazing! We've found that signing helps tremendously with the frustration factor, and we never cease to be amazed at how quickly Melina picks up signs.
