And today, she sings

Vani has never been much of a reader, or singer (she's absolutely tone deaf, so this is a good thing).  She will rarely sit through more than a few pages.  She's also not 'pretended' - beyond a few doll interactions.

Tonight, all is quiet.  For too long, which here is a danger signal.  I start panicking, and find Vani hanging out in a chair, for 30 minutes?  reading a book to herself.  Picks up another she hadn't read, tells a story about it.  Comes and sits besides and pretends to sing another book, to the (oxymoron) "TUNE" of jinglebells frosty abcd bo-po-mo-fo rudolf!  Never have I seen her entertain herself for so long.

Folks, we have found peace amongst the screaching.
