emo songtress

wren is really into singing.  she pretty much sings her entire life.  subjects ranging from the figurines she happens to be playing an elaborate game with, to ways in which i have failed her. (you may remember the great cornichon incident of 2012).  somehow in her mind it all translates into song.  raising this little songstress may force me to recant my staunch position on musicals and how absurd it is for characters to suddenly turn to each other and communicate via song (no, probably not).  let's face it, i'm pretty much living in a musical.  good thing she's so cute.   

yesterday wren asked when she started singing.  as i am not the mom that wrote down all the milestones, combined with the fact that i have a terrible memory meant i didn't have an exact answer for her.  fortunately after scouring through some videos, i found this gem taken when she was a couple months shy of two years old. 

yes, she does end this 20 second rendition of 'you are my sunshine' with 'please don't take a shower a me' followed by a sigh.  apparently parents aren't the only ones that catch the melancholy of this track.

xo,
