Silent Night....

All is well in our home, and silent....well, it should be it's 12am. With the swooshing of the dishwasher and dryer going and kids not underfoot reminds me of the song "Silent Night." However, I was reminded three days ago that there is a different rendition of the verse "round yon virgin."

Jeremiah pleaded with me to listen to him sing Silent Night after returning from therapy. His chest puffed up as he started to sing, standing straight and tall with hands at their respected side. Mind you, his rhythm is better than his pitch. As he approached the verse I was so proud of him and then the words "rounder version" rolled out. My ears perked with eyes wide open, eyebrows raised, biting my tongue, he finished the song. I cheered him on, he took a bow and left the room grinning from ear to ear, his DT and I tried very hard not to laugh for fear of hurting his feelings. Yet, with it being Christmas time it will forever make me smile everytime I hear "Silent Night."
