Whitney's Favorite Primary Song

I have several different posts floating around, but not much time to pin them down. So, today, I'll do the shortest one...

Every time we ask Whitney what song she'd like to sing for Family Home Evening, she requests, "I Love to See the Temple." (I think this was also one of Kallie's favorites at this same age.) I'm not sure whether she particularly loves it, or she just knows it really well--but we sing it pretty much every other week. It's also a frequent occurrence that she randomly sings this song while playing. The other day, while we were cleaning the girls' bedroom, Whitney started singing, so I joined in with her. When we got to the last line, "it is my sacred duty," I thought Whitney sang something else. I asked her to sing the song again and listened a little closer. Sure enough, she wasn't singing the correct words. She doesn't make the same mistake most kids make with this particular song and sing "secret duty" instead. No, Whitney made up words all her own..."it is my shake-a-booty." Yep--never thought you'd hear the word "booty" in a song about the temple, huh? For now, I request that song from her quite often and I don't bother correcting her own little version!

That is sooo cute. A couple of weeks ago we were driving home from church, and Stephen pointed out the window at the Provo Temple, and said, "There is the Temple mommy, I am going there some day." Kids are so cute.

hahaha! I am laughing so hard! Oh kids are so cute! What a funny little girl you have! And congrats to Ryan and your family on his degree! It does feel nice to be done with a bachelors..but a Masters! (or is it a PHD) that would feel very accomplishing!

That is so funny! I LOVE IT! You need to record her singing it!

That is one of Kierra's fav's too...but for some reason she asks to sing the "going to the mountains" song. Took me a little bit to figure out that is what she wanted! Gotta love kids!

That sounds like something my girls would do. What a sweet little girl. You almost hate to correct it when it is that cute!

Hey, I was looking for your email and didn't have it, will you send it to me? Thanks! shanellgambell@yahoo.com

That is SO cute! I'll never think of the song the same away again!

And yes... you are being blog stalked by a stranger. Just saw your blog title off AnnaRose's blog and thought it looked interesting. Don't worry, I'm not a weirdo. Most of the time anyway.
