Made Up Songs that Melt My Heart

I love the way Cole is growing and changing. He says something new everyday (most of which makes us laugh) and is definitely becoming Mr. Independent.

A routine kept from long ago is singing a song together before tucking in at night. As a newborn, Amazing Grace was the one that lulled him to sleep, toddler years brought about fun Scripture songs and a lullably passed down from my childhood, "Jesus Is With Me", and now it's changed to made up songs by my sweet boy.

These imaginative concoctions began at Christmas when he would sing about the star on his Christmas tree, Jesus, presents, and other seasonal things. After the tree was put away, he began to make up others - a few favorites being titled "My Books" and "DVD's in the DVD player" :) The sweetest though, he seems to have saved for last. The past three days, he's sung about Jesus, Papa, and Gigi - while adding a little strumming on the guitar.

Here are a few lyrics. . .

Jesus:

Jesus, you are so wonderful

You are so wonderful to me

I love you so much

You are powerful and wonderful and you love me

Jesus, I love you

Gigi:

I love you Gigi

You are so sweet to me

I love your house

I love to play with you and spend the night with you

Gigi, I love you

Papa:

Papa, I love you

You are my favorite Papa

I love when you play with me

I like eating dinner at your house

I want to visit you in Kentucky, Papa

I love you

Cole, how I love the innocence of your heart. I pray it never changes!
