Jingle Bell Rock

The school quarter is finished, and now I don't go back until January 3...hooray! I have tons o' projects to finish for Christmas gifts, but I don't anticipate having too much trouble. Of course, that depends partly on Miss Emma. I've been taking my crochet projects into the bathroom to work on while Emma plays in the bath. But the child doesn't like for me to be paying attention to things that are not her, so to get my attention she stands up in the bathtub. Tonight she even tried to climb out!

She likes for me to sing to her when she gets out of the tub; we actually have a singing game we play. I start singing a song, she lets me sing for a moment, then she says, "No," and shakes her head. I say, "How about......." and then I start a new song. On and on it goes, until I find just the right song to suit Her Highness's fancy. Tonight, I sang "Jingle Bell Rock" to her, and she laid there and listened, so I thought I was onto something. We had a big finish, complete with high kicks. After the big ending ("that's the jingle bell rooooooooooock!") she looked at me for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No." Ah, so much for the big finale!
