The HIgh of the Day

After a long day I go downstairs to get things cleaned up and prepare for a night with a newborn. It is almost ten o'clock and I pass Ellie's bedroom door to hear her leapfrog laptop playing music, it the number 1-20 song and Ellie is singing along. " one, two, three, four....." etc " eighteen, nineteen, TWENTY, YEA!" She sings the last part louder and with excitement. Then comes the ABCs which is tries to sing along with. I love listening to her sweet high pitched voice sing so proudly. She is such a smart girl. The next song is " If you're happy and you know it bark with me" bark because of scout the dog on leapfrog. During this song I'd hear here singing and then clapping for the "bark with me" part. I didn't want to leave her door, I was standing there originally going to go in there and put her back to bed. I didn't have it in me to ruin that cute moment, and instead stayed standing there for several more minutes listening to my adorable, smart daughter sing, before I headed back downstairs to clean the kitchen.
