Luke and I went to church yesterday and took part in Singspiration, the all music service.
Notice how I did not say that it was just myself that took part. During some key slow songs and some solos, my little boy decided that he wanted to sing just like everyone else and began to talk VERY LOUDLY. Loud enough for the entire congregation to start chuckling and a song to be delayed. After church, a few members approached me to say how they loved his solo very much and asked when he'd become a full time choir member.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little embarrassed, but he's 5 months old. No amount of embarrassment is going to make him not talk and encouraging him not to speak is the opposite of what I've been doing for the past, oh I don't know, 5 MONTHS. Kid makes me smile, even if I was a little wrongly embarrassed.
When my older sister was little, she sang in church too. She'd sing "Old McDonald" over and over because it was the only song she knew. My parents sat near the back.
