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!
