Fun Songs

We sing songs ALL. DAY. LONG. Most of them are the typical songs - itsy bitsy spider, patty cake, ring around the rosey, row row row your boat. But there are a few really fun ones that we have learned at school and I thought I'd share them with you all (you might know them), since I know a lot of you have wee little ones of your own. You will have to just add your own little melody because I'm not recording myself singing for you all.

Elephant Song
One elephant went out to play, out on a spider's web one day
He had such ENORMOUS fun (make a huge circle with your hands)
That he called for the other elephants to come

HEY ELEPHANTS (scream this really loud)

(then pat on the floor like a stampede of elephants are coming

Repeat for as long as you want (two elephants, three, four up to 100 if you want). HA

Bumble Bee Song
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee (have your hands cupped together and swaying them)
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (hold your hands up to your ear to hear it buzzing)
OUCH! it stung me (jump and let your hands open)

If Jack doesn't nap during the day, he will just sing up in his bed for 2 hours, well that or read books. These are two of his favorite songs right now though.

In other news: Potty training is going great. Jack is really getting the hang of it. We were at Tom's hockey games last week and he told us he had to go during the game. I was impressed. He's not a fan of pooping on the toilet yet, he usually saves that for nap time or bedtime. He also sits on the toilet, but faces the back seat of the toilet. Therefore, I still need to hold him. I'm not sure how I'm going to get away from doing this. I'll take holding him on the toilet verses emptying the potty chair any day though! Any suggestions?

Our Christmas decorations are up, our advent wreath is made, and a few presents are wrapped and ready to go. We still need to get our new lights on the outside of our house too. Pictures will be up later. For now I'm kicking it into birthday mode. Jack's 3rd birthday party is in less than two weeks! We need to get rid of Bailey for that day. Any takers? :-)

PS - enjoy the Christmas music I added on here!
