The girls have been singing for quite some time now, but we haven’t really gotten good videos until just recently. These videos are from the end of last month. Miranda and Eleanor each know “Twinkle, Twinkle”, “A, B, C”, “Baa Baa Black Sheep”, “Where is Thumbkin?”, “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, “Ring Around the Roses”, and a whole bunch of other songs from different CDs they listen to in the car. Many of these songs have hand motions that go with them. In general, Miranda tends to be more in tune than Eleanor, but she can sometimes trail off. Eleanor sings more loudly. Sometimes they argue about who gets to sing a particular song.
In this first video, Miranda is singing “Twinkle, Twinkle”. She occasionally trails off, and Agnes prompts her to continue. I like that Miranda repeats “Up above the world so high” a second time and then gets distracted. I guess she lost track of where she was in the song.

Eleanor is usually in tune enough for me to recognize what she’s singing, but on this day, I had no idea what she was singing or which hand motions these were. Part of it at the end looks a little like “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, but I don’t think that’s it. Maybe it’s just some song from daycare that I haven’t heard. The video starts out tinted a little blue, but clears up.
