Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: Singing

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces. On August 13, 2010, she and her mama came home from the hospital on the same day, with Penelope weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces.

Singing

For some reason, the big kids (especially Piper) are really into singing songs. I love hearing them sing, and I especially love their versions of songs. For instance, Piper sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like this:

Twinkle twinkle wittle star
How wonder you are
Up above above above the world so high
Like diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle wittle star
How wonder you are. . . .

And Rosemary has an excellent version of Jingle Bells (which is still sung regularly around here):

Jingle bells
Jingle bells
All the way
Old McDonald had a farm
Hey!

Other favorites are the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the ABC song, and of course Old McDonald Had a Farm. Henry will sing along sometimes, and recently Penelope has started chiming in and helping the kids sing songs. I love it. Part of me hopes that they never learn the “right” words to all their songs.
