Outgrowing the lullaby

Since the moment I met Belle, I never miss an opportunity to sing to her. Primarily, I sing bedtime lullabies just before I kiss her goodnight. But Belle is nearly five so she thinks she's all grown up. She loves reading and often "reads" (looks at pictures) books and "magazines" (Lego catalogues) to herself at night. Tonight, after I read her Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, Belle said, "I'd like to read my magazine now. I'm getting too old for songs anyway." My face must have dropped because Belle added, comfortingly, "you can sing to yourself when you go downstairs if you want."
SLOW DOWN, BELLE!
