Dear Laurie Berkner,
My 3 yr old daughter is obsessed with you.
#1. Laurie Berkner
#2. iPad
#3. Mommy.... yup I'm 3rd.
She has autism and is verbal, but does have a speech delay. Your songs have put words into her mouth beautifully. She wakes up singing "One Seed" and goes to bed singing "Family". All of your songs are so silly and free- and those 2 words describe my daughter perfectly.
So thank you.
Thank you for...
Letting your music allow me to do dishes
Letting your music allow me to do laundry
Letting your music allow me to vacuum
Letting your music allow me to clean the house
Letting your music allow me to have a conversation on the phone
Letting your music allow me to cook dinner
Letting your music let Mommy have a few moments of peace
And most of all, thank you for letting your music let my child have words.
My daughter was tube fed for her first year of life. The only thing that got us through those dark days was Laurie Berkner and her joyful songs! I totally, totally get it. Wonderful post!
