Elena is a songwriter

Apparently my 3 year old (nearly) daughter is a songwriter.

I was playing my guitar earlier today, and as usual Elena walked over and asked to start strumming the guitar. The difference is that this time, she started singing along. The tune was indiscernible, so I assume she was inventing it.

I think I captured the lyrics fairly accurately. Here they are.

Once upon a time
there was a happy little lady
and her name was mommy
and her name was mommy
and her name was mommy

And she was playing with her magic ball
and she was going to the potty
but she was not going in her pants
she was going all by herself
she was going
she was going
she was going
she was going
she was going
but not forever and ever.

I’ve read the lyrics of famous songs that aren’t this good!

I am SO proud of her!

I can see this being a number one hit!

Give her kisses and squishes for me. :D

When can we expect her first CD to come out? Sign us up for two! Seriously, though, I think she has a lot of talent!

At least the mommy in the song was a happy mommy! LOL…
