A ditty for each boy
What songs do we sing around here? Besides the ubiquitous and dreadful "Clean up, clean up," you mean? When the boys were just a few weeks old, I composed a ditty featuring each of them.
Despite the risk of a GERD-induced puke, I danced Jonah around in a lively Jonah-jig - which he found hilarious - to the tune of Animal's "Mahna Mahna." Benjamin's song is a more meloncholy reflection of different suffixes for his name, such as "Benjaree" and "Benjaroo."
Both boys still enjoy their songs today ( and will immediately correct me if I switch their songs).... I'm glad something postive came out of those challenging first few months!
