Silly Songs

Caleb has always liked to sing and make up silly songs. At night if you ask him what song he wants you to sing, he will say something like..."a song about the door" or "a song about the curtains" or "a song about the library." He wants you to make up a little ditty about the items in his room, the toy he is playing with, or what we did that day. I stink at this. Corey, however, takes pride in his songs; and when my friend Emi puts Caleb to bed she looks forward to this part...and then she and Corey compare notes later and congratulate themselves on a rhyming job well done. I typically make my songs rhyme by just repeating the same word over and over.

A few weeks ago the Sunday school lesson was on David and how he helped King Saul feel better by playing his harp. The other day I told Caleb that I did not feel good and I needed to rest for a minute. He rushed over to get his guitar so he could make me feel better, "just like David did." Sweet boy melts my heart, and makes me laugh with his crazy lyrics:

• I don't know why Silas is rough on the baby. I don't know why he sits on him, and why he stands on him.
• When I say I start with a J, Jaguar tells me I start with a C.
• I just love Morgan and Erin, but they are just not here.
• I guess my daddy is mad at my mommy because he does not have a girl.
• The poor quality video below is a song about being three but wanting to be four...

"Three is just how old I am. I am three, and I dont why I am three. And I still want to be four. Dum di dum"
