I was really excited for the chance to visit Westover Baptist Preschool this morning. This gathering fulfilled a silent auction donation I had made to Tuckahoe Elementary and the occasion celebrated the half-birthday of a beautiful little girl named Francesca, so it felt like a double good thing to do! The children (3s & 4s) were a fabulous audience!

Here’s what we sang:

(I love this version of “Knick Knack,” published by Barefoot Books, for the clever arrangement, adding a new instrument with each number, and terrific CD that includes a great vocal by SteveSongs, but best of all a singable instrumental track that gets toes a-tappin’ and perfect for singing along)
