Who is that child?

Today, Tahlia told Mommy that she was going to teach a song that she made to her music class. Mommy smiled and wished her luck.

She has created a song, it is called "Cherry Cherry Bim Bam". It has its roots in a Jewish song that she learned at her preschool, but she made up the rest. Over the summer, we have heard this song in varies stages of creation.

So how does it go?

"Cherry Cherry Bim Bam"

Cherry Cherry bim bam
Cherry Cherry bim bam
the mouse ran into the house
the mouse ran out of the house
the mouse ran on to a car
the mouse ran off of a car
the mouse ran back in teh house
Cherry Cherry bim bam
Cherry Cherry bim bam
Cherry Cherry bim bam the mouse

Mommy and I didn't expect that she would sing it. But, when she climbed into the car today, Mommy asked how music went. Evidently, she told Mr. O that she wanted to sing a song that she had made up. He asked the class if they wanted to hear a song that she had created, and the said yes. So, she sang it. By her account, after she finished singing Mr. O told them to clap, and they did.

Would Mommy have done this as a child, or I? No.

It's pretty amazing to see a child who is all her own.
