A Year of Singing

Last November during our morning "Bible Time" with my then three girls, Possum age 3, Twinkle age 2, and Sweetness almost 1, we began singing "Give Thanks".  Being November it seemed fitting to teach them a song that we could sing together on Thanksgiving Day.  My girls have always loved music, singing, and dancing, so each morning, we'd sing "Give Thanks" and slowly over the month, the girls would join in and sing as well.  By Thanksgiving Day we, as a family, were able to sing together along with my in-laws- my girls grandparents, who also knew the song- making it a very special moment around our Thanksgiving dinner table.

December we continued, and we sang "Joy to the World" every day in December.  I began to notice that Possum would take about 3-4 days to pick up the words and be able to sing alongside me.  Twinkle took a little longer, about 1-2 weeks.  And Sweetness just joined in with her babbling singing, which was adorable.

January we learned "To God Be The Glory" being that a new year has begun and what a fitting song for this month.

February- "Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God"
March- "I Love You, Lord"
April- "Jesus Paid It All"
May- "Amazing Grace" (verse 1, 5)
June- "Amazing Grace" (verse 2, 3)
July- "Amazing Grace" (verses 1-3, 5)
August- "You Are God Alone"
September- We didn't learn anything new. Handsome arrived Sept. 6.
October- We sang a medley of all the different songs throughout the year we've learned.
November- We are reprising "Give Thanks".
