in a world of her own
listening to juliana sing when she thinks no one is listening is an amazing thing. She has excellent pitch, even when she mumbles through some words.
She has always been sort of a perfectionist, even when she was playing with her wooden blocks. Everything had to be facing the same way. This is a trait that ava has picked up on as well. Tracey and I were watching her play with blocks and while she turned her head away, I rotated one of the blocks. Ava turned her head back, cocked it slightly, rotated the block back the way she had it and then kept on stacking. :)
Back to singing, Juliana is smitten with "In a world of my own" from the disney Alice In Wonderland film, which is a favorite at the house, and of Tracey's since she was little.
Here are the lyrics to the song:
Cats and rabbits
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own
All the flowers
Would have very extra special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When I'm lonely in a world of my own
There'd be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds
Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds
Within that world of my own
I could listen to a babbling brook
And hear a song that I could understand
I keep wishing it could be that way
Because my world would be a wonderland
