Ellie has a new favorite “band.”
Yesterday the note from her Pre-K teacher recounted this:
“Ellie had a great day! She led all the girls in a sing-a-long to “Do-Me-Mi” from the Sound of Music. They all loved it.”
“Do-Re-Mi,” or “Do-a-Deer,” as Ellie refers to it, is the new favorite car song. My favorite is how she even sings it replete with English accent. She even requested I sing it to her before bed the other night (usually she tells me "Mommy! Don't sing!")
I have to admit, this is one of my prouder parenting moments. My daughter is spreading the gospel of Broadway show tunes.
As she should.
Let's just not talk about how I also downloaded "Baby" from last week's episode of "Glee" (Yes, OK, fine it's a Justin Bieber song) and encouraged her to shake her little hips to "Justin Beaver" (her word, not mine). And we really won't talk about how she exclaimed "I love Justin Beaver!"
