Theme Song

I HAVE to get this on video, so I can pull it out at her wedding or the eve of her Nobel speech or something.

Savannah has made herself up a theme song. It’s hilarious and adorable.

It goes like this:

“Sa-VANN-Ah! Da da da! Sa-VANN-ah!!! Da da da!! Saaaaaa–VANN-AHHHHHHH!”

It’s complete with arm gestures and everything.

The Big Musical Performance

Savannah has been back in music class this semester at the Austin Lyric Opera, which is amazing. We have loved their classes. If you are in Austin, I definitely recommend them.

I was a little sad this time around as the class was for kids big enough to learn on their own – I didn’t get to participate, BUT Savannah has LOVED it. She really enjoys music and it’s been fun to hear her talk about the instruments they learned about (The dumbek! The trumpet! The pan flute! The harp!) and hear her make up her own songs. Her teacher Mr. Walter is great with this age group (3-5) and she just loves him. She would sit right next to him the whole class and watch everything he does.

To complete the class, they have been practicing for a big performance. I’ve been hearing a lot about it the last few weeks and here it is!! Savannah is second from the left in the pink shirt.

Conversations: Oh this is a good one y’all

This year Santa has started to become important. The last few years, Savannah could take him or leave him. However, the realization that he has the power to bring presents has really sunk in.

We were discussing Santa in the car and I brought up that we should leave him some milk and cookies on Christmas eve and maybe a snack for the reindeer too. We talked about how Santa LOVES treats. Then this little gem popped out:

S: ‘Santa has a big belly’

Me: ‘Yes, he does’

S: ‘He should eat healthy food and not just treats! You can’t just eat treats all the time! That makes you sick. Let’s leave him a healthy snack. White milk and fruits and vegetables.’

Sorry Santa – it’s ants on a log and carrots and grapes for you this year.
