I’m a man of my word, and I said here that when my kids learned how to sing at least the first part of Sonnet 18, I’d record and post it. So, here it is, my five and three year old singing “Shall I compare thee…”.
I did what I could to clean it up, but it gets a little rushed at the end. They get excited when the microphone is on. Of course, I may not have thought this entirely through. They sing it now, all the time. Breakfast lunch and dinner. I thought that if they’re going to sing the same song over and over again, I’d rather it be Shakespeare than something from Dora or High School Musical. I’m beginning to question that assumption…
They are cute!
