Songs and rhymes - are they connecting?

We've been singing songs in Molly's toddler German school class since September and she usually responds by sucking her thumb and possibly hiding her face. It hasn't been very encouraging until this Wednesday when we were supposed to be quiet during John's circle time. Then, out of the blue, Molly started singing, "Hoppe hoppe Reiter!"

Later that day, she started singing the toddler class Christmas song, "Kling, Glocke, klingelingeling."

And this morning, as I began singing, "Ich bin da, du bist da, wir sind alle da" to wake up the big kids, she lit up and said, "Ist Molly da?" (or at least the toddler version).

She's been soaking it up like a sponge - and finally I'm seeing the sponge being wrung out.
