K sang this to me today. Word for word. Unbeknownst to me, her sister KJ spent a little time one afternoon last week teaching this to K in preparation for my birthday today. Unprompted, K gave me the cheekiest smile & sang the whole entire song. The only variation was that for some reason she ended the song "Happy Birthday, one, two."
Good speech & the ability to learn quickly is a good trait right?
K does know when it is appropriate or not too. She sang the song properly when everyone sang happy birthday to me tonight.
If my cheeky little monkey decides to cooperate, I'll try to post of video of her singing in the next couple of days.
I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
