Kian Sings!

I do not know why I am so surprised to find this out, but Kian likes to sing.

At my house, I am always singing something. The babies have ALWAYS been exposed to singing in some fashion or another because of it.

Their nursery has always had a soundtrack or the lullaby channel singing away inside it.

Our television is always set to Nickelodeon and Noggin which is full of singing animal shows, their favorite being, "The Backyardigans."

A few weeks ago, my husband noticed that Kian had this huge affinity for a specific episode of "The Backyardigans" which involved a search for a golden butterfly.

It's rather odd, actually, because this particular episode is a sort of Puccini/Gilbert & Sullivan inspired amalgam that just so happens to be, drum roll please, A WESTERN!

Yep, it's basically a western operetta about a bunch of stage coach drivers and a professor in search of catching the golden gilded butterfly, and my child ADORES it.

We first caught him running in circles in the living room, madly singing, "Tough, tough, tough" at the top of his little Kian guy lungs.

After the song was over, he collapsed in the center of the floor in hysterics, laughing so hard that he was purring (it's a Kian thing!)

Bregon even heard him through the monitor one night, thinking that he was going to wake up and maybe wake up one of his siblings, he ran upstairs to try and head off potential disaster only to find that Kian was STILL ASLEEP!

As it turns out, he was smiling and hugging his teddy, all cuddled up in his little green blankie, SINGING his favorite "Tough, tough, tough" song in his sleep.

We all had a good laugh over that one, because it's common knowledge that I just so happen to sing in my sleep, too!

This past week, I must have been singing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and not have realized it, because Kian has since picked up singing part of that as well.

He now runs around singing, "EIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEIEI" rather indefinitely until Vivienne will pitch in to STOP the madness by inserting her best, most concerned, "OOOOOOOOHHHHHH" into the matter.

Don't get me wrong, Kaiden sings, too. In fact, he was born singing and has yet to really stop humming or singing under his breath yet (did I mention that his favorite musical is "Rent?)

It has been really funny around here as of late with all three singing babies running around!
