The Singing Songbook

Way back when Mommy and Daddy were kids, a phenomenon occurred called Psalty the singing songbook.  Both of us can still sing certain Psalty songs from when we were kids and the aunties and unkies of the families can remember this blue book too!

 

The best part of Psalty is that all of the songs are classic bible songs as well as his videos. (The videos are pretty funny - they are the original 80's videos just put on DVDs).  They are easy to let Amelia listen and watch because we don't have to worry about the message coming across.  Well, we decided to buy her the Psalty videos and cd's last Christmas.  What was the result you may ask?!

Amelia love, LOVE, LOVES Psalty!!!

 

Amelia originally listened to Psalty in the car and watched the videos on occasion.  This has expanded to listening to Psalty (at her request - we cannot miss because she reminds us) at every naptime and every night until we go to bed.  She asks to listen to Psalty in the car, if she wakes up in the middle of the night, she asks to watch Psalty at home and in the car. 

 

The girl LOVES Psalty. 

 

Amelia loves Psalty so much that she has even started to sing some of Psalty's songs....

Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah - Praise Ye the Lord.  (Amelia will sing the first part)

I love you Lord (Amelia says, Laaa Lu, Laaaa Lu for Love you - sooooo cute)

 

We will sometimes sing a couple Psalty songs at night before bed - it goes a little something like this....

Daddy starts singing.....Touch your finger to your nose...

Amelia (excited amazed face).....mom...

Mommy joins in singing.....Then at the waist bend down and touch your toes....

Amelia....Mom...

Still singing.....And when you come up slowly start to sing....

Amelia....MOM....MOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

Mommy....Yes Amelia....

(In sheer amazement and excitement - like it was the Christmas morning).....pause....Deedle Deedle Deelde (this is Amelia's word for Psalty)....

Mommy....Psalty?!

Amelia (HUGE SMILE).....Yeah!!!

And then we all sing the rest of the song......Say to the Lord I love you, I love you, I love you, say to the Lord, I love you.

 

We are so glad Amelia is able to learn about God in such a fun way!  If Psalty was ever to make an appearance again - I think we would have to go!
