Even though I am not very musical, Quincy loves playing the keyboard and singing various songs. He knows a lot of kids songs because they play in the car constantly. He never sings in church, but loves to listen to the music every Sunday.
We felt Quincy needed a nap today and put him down accordingly. He, however, was not convinced he needed a nap, so he spent the time telling stories to his animals and singing songs. Skip to My Lou was the first song we heard, and then we heard, to our surprise, one of the praise songs from church this morning:
Dara asked him why he didn’t sing in church and Quincy said that he was listening. Near as I can figure, he memorized those lines today as I can’t recall the last time we sang that song in church. We knew he was pretty sharp and good at remembering things, but this was even good by his standards.
To top things off, Dara told him that his singing was really good to which Quincy said, “God likes it when I do that.” So, a 3 1/2 year old is getting some basic theology down. There’s hope for the rest of us.
