Choir of Angels



I'm sorry that this will be another entry about the Frew (for the most part)...but, he's 18 months old.  And hilarious.  Also, I do not keep a separate journal for him (he's #6 -  I gave up on that a long time ago), and so all funny things need to be recorded here. 

Last week we went to church, and he sat with us (sometimes he sits with this wonderful woman in our ward to mitigate the effects of chaos on our bench).  Shortly after the program began, he grabbed the hymnbook, opened it up, and started to exuberantly belt out a song - with all his might.  It was some serious singing.  TPM and I laughed like crazy.  We knew we should probably stop such irreverance, but...it was so cute, we just sat there...and laughed (like the great parents we are).  Then, this week, the same thing.  Grabbed the hymnbook and started singing away.  We can't understand a word of it...cause it's all in Frew language.  But, I'm pretty sure everyone around us was feeling especially warm and fuzzy about his worshipping. 

I think he learned some of this from his big brother, Squeakers.  He loves a good hymn.  He has started writing his own songs (see picture above...he usually writes them in notebooks, but in this case, he wrote on the white board).  Today he was playing one of his songs and we asked him, "What's that song called?" to which he responded, "Smooth girls."  Hmmm....okay.  But, his new favorite thing is finishing his dinner, and running outside for a good outburst.  He stands out on the basketball court and sings his heart out - it doesn't matter what the song - and he does some moves.  It looks...kind of like...drill team tryouts.  Lots of straight arms waving around.  Brent and I sit in the kitchen (finishing our dinner, because we like to eat more than 4 bites of food), and just laugh away at the sheer entertainment of it all.  When he actually notices that people are watching him, he will quickly stop and wander away acting as if nothing were happening.  We will probably try to video record it sometime; but, he will probably have us legally removed as his parents/guardians when he is an adolescent if we ever post it on the blog.
