This afternoon I picked the kids up from school at pretty much the last possible moment. But instead of punishing me, they greeted me with big smiles and shouts of "Mama!" We walked out to the car, a happy bunch, and I loaded them in. As I started to back the car up, I turned and asked Christian how his day was. He answered me by asking for the "boom boom" song.
The "boom boom" song actually consists of the first two songs off Adele's latest album, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Rumor Has It." Why do both my children call them the "boom boom" song? I have never been given a clear reason, but the kids love the songs, so that's all that matters.
It has become a routine that as soon as we get in the car, I put this CD on and sing along. So that's what we did today. Christian just smiled and watched me singing in the rear view mirror. Tessie sang along with me. She has been starting to learn a lot of the words to both songs, and sings them better and better. Today she was belting it out. I turned the music up and we grooved. Christian just kept smiling.
I love music. Both of my children love music. Sharing this with them is something of a dream come true. But what was really amazing was listening to my little girl sing. I could hear the love of the music in her voice, and it was truly beautiful.
