I Be Myself, a musical composition by Emerson G. Daly

So, last night as we were getting ready for bed this happened.

As background, we had a great weekend of birthday celebrations.  The girls were pretty exhausted so both Chris and I were trying to hustle through the bedtime routine. 

Em started to sing as I was walking her into the bathroom for teeth brushing.

Even I am smart enough to not get in the way of genius.  So we paused for this brief musical interlude and the accompanying interpretative dance.  I only wish I had it on film so as to capture the tune, the wild gestures, and the part where she wrapped herself in a towel hanging on the wall.
