Remembering This Age

Sometimes I take pictures or videos of every day things that we do because they are the things that I want to always remember about my kids. Sometimes Maya does the cutest things and I just want to capture it some how and always be able to look back on it. Maybe it's my way of trying to hold onto something that she will inevitably grow out of. Who knows. I have been singing Maya a melody of songs every night since she was a newborn. They mostly comprised of the same two or three songs strung together that I would sing or hum to her. There was one song that became her particular favourite out of the montage. When she was about eighteen months old she surprised me and started singing along with me one night. She knew every single word and I was blown away by the fact that she really was listening to me every night and absorbing it all. Now it has become our night time routine where we sing together after story time. It is the freaking cutest when she sings. Her off-key, toddler style speech melts my heart. Every. Single. Time.

Maya has also started singing along to songs with her Daddy. The usual is twinkle twinkle little star. So one night I tried to get it on cameral when Chris was putting her to bed. She was smart and figured out what I was trying to do and kept saying, "Bye bye Mama!", and shooing me out of the room.  Then Chris put the camera in the room when she wasn't looking and got a recording of her singing her favourite song with me.

Check out this absolute cuteness and I dare you to tell me that it isn't the sweetest thing you have ever heard.

I always want to remember this age with Maya. It has the most precious moments!
