Quinten

My little 5 year old Quin is quite the character. Yesterday in the car he was making up a song. It went like this:
He took my hotdog
He took my hamburger
Now I've got the blues

He took my popsicle
He took my icecream
now I've got the blues
Yeah now I've got the blues

It had "Question and answer" Phrasing, and the last phrase ended on the root! (it sounded like a real song) I'm amazed! This boy can sing too!

Also yesterday, we were at McDonalds and had gotten baby cones for the boys for dessert. Quin was wishing he had been allowed to get chocolate and peanuts on his icecream, but the free baby cones only come plain. Quin looks over to me and states "now I can fly." What? I said. He looked at his icecream, and showed it to me and said I've got it Plane. Now I can fly away! Tony and I burst out laughing. Quin had made up and told a real joke!

Quinten, that's quite a song. I wish I could have heard it too.
Plane ice cream cones will never been boring again. I'll giggle every time I have one. Thanks Quinten for making life sparkle.
