About a month ago as I was putting Emma to bed and about to sing the same 3 songs I have sung every naptime and bedtime for the past 6 months (per her request!), she looked up at me and said..."new songs please".  THANK YOU.  I sighed with relief and asked what song she would like..."Child's Prayer".  This was a sweet moment for me.  I went on to sing "I am a Child of God" and "I hope...".   A few days later after I sang the songs, she wispered in my ear as we were snuggling, "sing to daddy".  I took her out to Chris and I was shocked with what I heard.  She belted out these songs and now does this same routine every night.  And yes, I know that she is totally working us over to stay up later!  But how could I pass this up...

Emma - that was so good. It is really nice to hear you sing.

Great singing, cute smile at the end, and nice that she included the "TV remote throw" as part of the performance!

That is the cutest thing...and so funny. She's a nut! It was fun hearing Taylor laugh in the background too!

I have to agree with Brett, her chucking the remote at you guys during her beautiful church singing was my favorite part.

But seriously though, when she sings "child's prayer," it is like the most tender thing I have ever seen.

Kim just watched it with me and said that she's jealous... our kids don't bother to learn the primary songs --- we're just hoping that Cole won't fall asleep during the primary program this year.

They're boys, Brett...what do you expect. Wait til Lexi is in Primary!!!

That was so cute! I got a little teared up through the last song.

And what's the deal with boys??? Jack can barely talk, much less belt out all the tunes in the Childrens Song book! He could, however, throw a remote further than Emma!
