Singing Sawyer

Dear Sawyer,

Awhile ago, I was watching an interview with Reese Witherspoon and she said that she believes that people sing when their hearts are just so full of joy, it comes out in song. If that's true, I am glad that I always hear you singing! So often you are playing in your room or just walking around the house singing whatever song that has popped into your head. For the past month, it was a mash-up of the holiday songs you learned for your school's holiday concert. Our house was filled with the sounds of you singing a few lines from each song, sometimes on repeat: "Twinkle twinkle Hanukkah lights! Shining bright for eight long nights! Rockin' around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday! You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear! Voices singing 'Let's be jolly! Deck the halls with balls of holly!' The red candle shines, the red candle shines, when it's time for Kwanzaa, the red candle shines!"

I heard "The Wheels on the Bus" several times this week and this morning, you were singing "The itchy, itchy spider went up the water spout." I love it! May your heart always be so full of joy that it comes out in song.

Love,
Mom
