Singing Peter

I posted previously about Peter's singing. He really does spend a good part of his day singing. He often wakes up and falls asleep singing. He sings in the car, at the dinner table, and while he's playing. He has quite a large repertoire of songs that he has gathered from various CDs and videos that we own or borrow from the church library on a regular basis.

Yesterday we were on a walk and Peter was riding his bike. We rode by the pond that is next to the condos in our neighborhood and Peter excitedly pointed out the fountain in the pond. The he burst into song...

"Deep and wide
Deep and wide
There's a fountain flowing deep and wide!"

He sang it several times and each time he got to the word "fountain" he would emphatically point to the fountain. It cracked me up that he could spontaneously think of a song with the word "fountain" in it and also that he felt the need to point to it each time!

We're also thinking that he might be considering a career in the military. Two of his favorite songs to sing right now are "The Lord's Army" and "Onward Christian Soldiers." His new summer haircut makes him look like he's ready to enlist right now!

I enjoyed reading about Peter singing-reminds me of his Grandpa Waanders who used to stand on a footstool when he was little and would belt out "Bell Bottom Trousers, Coat of Navy Blue". ask him if he remembers doing that.
