Yesterday while at my mom's house, Elijah Brooks was playing with this counting toy by Leapfrog. When you press one of the numbers, a different style of music will play - either opera, country, reggae, jazz, or barbershop. I am sure most of you have seen this toy. When you press the # 1 (bluebird), the "voice" sings the words, "bluebird, bluebird number 1, sing your bluebird opera song"....., and then it sings some sort of vocalise, which is just a vocal warmup of about an octave. It's not really "opera", but rather just a vocal warmup - but to most people, it sounds "operatic" I guess. These are the types of warmups I do almost every day to keep my voice in shape. Anyway, when Elijah Brooks pressed the # 1 and heard the "song", he looked up and very assuredly said, "MOMMY"! My mom and I both about died laughing and I asked him, "is that Mommy singing"? to which he nodded and said, "uh huh".
Either this was a great compliment or a huge insult that I might sound like an electronic toy bug!
Smart kid regardless that he put that together. He really is listening more than I think he is.

I love it!!!! That's a pretty observant little boy you have there. I think you need to call us and do some operatic warm ups over the phone just so I can hear what Bennett would have to say about that. What a funny story. :-)ri
haha! i love it! well...whether it sounds like you or not, i LOVE it that he's made that connection on his own. it will happen more and more and make communication easier and easier! smart little guy! :)
