There is something indelibly sweet about the strains of Beethoven's Ode to Joy emitting from under a door frame, with this perfectly angelic voice singing the words to the hymn Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee....
....coming from the bathroom of course. I will definitely miss these days when my littlest angel still sings in the bathroom.
She's still on a Beethoven kick. Big bro sent her the Ode to Joy ringtone for her phone, and within minutes she was sitting at the piano and picking it out, playing the cellphone version then hitting the keys until she got the right notes, over and over. So I brought out my hymnal and since then she has been chipping away at learning the full chorded version. And of course singing it on the bike, at the pool, over dinner, in the bathroom.

That is without a doubt one of my most favorite classical pieces. We used it in our wedding and it makes me happy whenever the chance comes to sing it at Mass. How beautiful she must sound!!
