Ceilidh and Graeme are constantly making me laugh and/or cry with some of the things they say and do! Tonight was no exception. All Christmas songs that mention shepherds and angels are big hits around here due to their debut in the 2012 Christmas play at church as ..... you guessed it, a shepherd and an angel. wink We were listening to Chris Rice's version of "What Child is This," when Graeme got really quiet. I just thought he was listening for the shepherd part, when all of the sudden he says, "Momma, how do they make it sound so beautiful?" He literally was quietly listening in awe at the beauty of this song.... this boy can really blow me away sometimes!
For better and for worse, our kids are VERY routine oriented children. In keeping with this, they fall asleep listening to the same CD every night. Yes, every night. There is MUCH resistance when you try to change this up. ha But, for the Advent season we managed to sneak in a Christmas CD for a few weeks! This is how bedtime played out tonight:
Ceilidh: Momma, I want to put our regular music back in on Christmas Eve.
Me: Ok, but why Christmas Eve?
Ceilidh: B/c I can't sleep with the Christmas music.
Me: If that is the case, then lets put the regular CD in tonight. You need to get to sleep.
Ceilidh: No, I can't sleep b/c I like to sing the songs. But I have to sleep on Christmas Eve, or Santa won't come!
HA! So sweet and so true. I hear her every night singing her little heart out. Her favorite song is 'Silver Bells.' I love how both of our older children appreciate music so much. I am sure Jane will follow in their footsteps!
