Lowell has a great pop-up book collection that was started for him by his Bubbie. He has a couple beautiful Robert Sabuda ones that, surprisingly, he does not attempt to destroy so we actually read them a lot. One in particular is his favorite and just happens to be the lyrics to a song. Whenever Matthew and I read it to him we like to sing it, because that's just how we roll around here. Neither of us ever miss an opportunity to emote. The other day Lowell surprised the hell out of us by opening the book up and singing the entire thing all on his very own. Would you like to hear it? I think you might:
Today's shoes are also up. My favorite everyday shoes that are not my clogs.
oh. my. god.

It's a good thing I'm not diabetic, or I surely would have gone into a seizure from all that sweetness. Surely if the terrorists heard Lowell singing "America, the Beautiful" they would lay down their bombs and peace would reign over the land. It's your duty to spread this clip far and wide.

Stop it. You hired a child actor for that. Or an adult on helium. Nothing that cute can actually exist. Cease your terrible lies!

So.Freakin.Awesome.
I keep meaning to get a video of Theya 'reading' her favorite book to us, she's had the whole thing memorized for a while. Don't think it'll come close to the kick-ass singing, though!
